I've been using Mailstrom service on and off for years for bulk classifying my mail and some automated rules, but it seems like they haven't added anything new in years (I think they are focusing in some sort of iPhone app now) and I've tried to contact them to ask a couple things and they don't answer my emails.

So I've been thinking to make some sort of similar app to go through my mail metadata and make grouping and rules... "Delete this emails after a week, move all these others just when you receive them, send this others straight to the bin" with some extra smartness added.

We can look to add it :)

Never thought I'd see my old employer mentioned on HN! When I left in the mid-2010s, they were just getting the mobile app off the ground. The first iteration was just trying to replicate some of the web app functionality with a new UI but I haven't checked in on it in years.

I have to make a correction now: I've been checking my mail and I've found that Leslie answered me but the message ended on my spam folder (hah!). The answer: They didn't have plans for the functionality I asked for. I asked for the possibility of deleting or moving certain emails after certain number of days (for example, for newsletters, billing emails, notices, and things like that).

As of today, Mailstrom's functionality seems to be the same as 5 or more years ago. Which is not bad-bad, but not enough for me. It seems like the company is focusing on an iPhone app called Chuck [0] that's kind of similar but plus AI and some other stuff. I'll go build my own Lunar Lander.
