I always assumed Gmail bloat came from large attachments. Turns out 3 senders were responsible for 30% of my inbox — thousands of tiny emails I'd never thought to clean up.

  I built mailtrim to surface this pattern:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
                                           
  - ranks senders by actual storage impact (not just count)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
  - confidence scoring on what's safe to bulk-delete                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
  - 30-day undo on everything — nothing is permanent by default
  - runs entirely locally, no email data leaves your machine

  One friction point upfront: Gmail API setup is one-time, ~15 min.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
  After that it's just `mailtrim stats` and `mailtrim purge`.      
                                                             
  Keen to hear feedback on the confidence/safety model especially —                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
  that's the part I'm least sure I've got right.
