General

What is Slimbox?

Slimbox declutters your inbox by allowing you to move subscription and notification emails out of your inbox, combining them into a single daily email.

How does Slimbox work?

Slimbox securely connects to your email and checks for clutter (messages that include an unsubscribe feature). Any time Slimbox finds clutter, it will ask you whether you want to automatically move such clutter messages from that sender out of your inbox to a folder labeled #Slimbox. Slimbox also combines these clutter emails into a single daily email (so you don't have to check the #Slimbox folder).

For more details about how Slimbox works and how your privacy is protected, we encourage you to check out our plain English Privacy Policy.

Can I keep emails from certain senders in my inbox?

Yes. You decide which emails remain in your inbox and which are moved to the #Slimbox folder/label and sent in the daily summary.

Will Slimbox cause me to lose messages I don't want to lose?

No. Slimbox simply moves those subscription messages into the #Slimbox folder/label that is automatically created for you, so those messages are easily accessible at any time — they are just out of your way and presented to you in a single daily email.

Is it easy to turn Slimbox off?

Yes. Simply go to the Settings page and delete your account. All forthcoming subscription messages will come into your email the same way as before you activated Slimbox.

What email clients do you support?

We currently support Gmail and Google Apps. Support for Outlook.com (including Hotmail, MSN, & Windows Live), Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, and iCloud is on our roadmap.

Does Slimbox work with Gmail tabs?

Yes. Many of the subscription messages that you would typically find in Gmail tabs will be moved to your #Slimbox folder. What's great about this is that these messages are removed from your inbox on all your email clients, so your inbox is decluttered no matter how you view it.

Why is Slimbox better than Gmail tabs?
  • Gmail tabs doesn't send you a daily summary of your clutter messages; Slimbox does.
  • Gmail tabs doesn't work on the iPhone Mail app; Slimbox does.
  • Gmail tabs is not ad-free; Slimbox is.
Why is Slimbox better than Unroll.me?
  • Unroll.me shares user data such as purchase information; Slimbox doesn't.
    • Unroll.me has a page explaining "What We Do With Your Data," and they say this is "Why we don't charge you for this amazing service."
    • In the Slimbox Privacy Policy, we explain that we don't share your data and don't have ads and that's why we charge a small fee.
  • Unroll.me is not ad-free; Slimbox is.
Does Slimbox collect payment information when I sign up to try it?

No. Slimbox is completely free to try — no payment information of any kind is needed.

Security

Does Slimbox access or store my login information?

No. Slimbox uses Gmail's OAuth authentication service to access user data. We never have access to your password.

Why is my email client warning me of somebody using IMAP from another location?

We use IMAP as our connection to your mailbox — no need to worry!

How does Slimbox access my email account?

To login, we use OAuth for the services that support it. For the others, we securely encrypt your password. To connect to your account, we use IMAP for all services.

Settings

Can I adjust how frequently I receive the Slimbox Summary Email?

No. We feel that it's important that you get in the habit of reading your daily summary to ensure that you don't miss anything.

How long do messages stay in my Slimbox folder?

By default, messages will stay in your #Slimbox folder until you manually delete them.
