I know about imapsize but there is no developer activity for over 10 years.

I dislike the gmail trash waiting for 30 days to empty, so I have cron-job running a small Go script that cleans up the trash using the Gmail API. Right now I use Gmail&#x27;s filters to send stuff I don&#x27;t like to the trash, but I plan to do the filtering in the script too, when I find the time.<p>I&#x27;m still wondering why there isn&#x27;t a &quot;delete every email from this person automatically&quot; built into either Gmail, or the underlying email spec, which I don&#x27;t really know anything about.

Actually, using labels will help you. Historically it took me about a day to get to a zero Inbox.
