Frequently Asked Questions

A.CleanOut is a productivity app that allows busy people to manage their complex work email in a fraction of the time it normally takes. It does this by sorting your messages based on their predicted importance and then giving you options to quickly understand and deal with them. In the process, CleanOut ensures that you deal with your most important business first, stay organized and have reminders to follow up on action items.

It’s a complete solution for handling your email.While other solutions in the market focus on a particular aspect of email management such as prioritization, triage, filing or follow-up, CleanOut takes a wholistic approach and handles all phases from beginning to end.

It works with Outlook. There are many new email clients or apps in the market that require you to learn how to use a complete replacement for Outlook.CleanOut, on the other hand, is built on the belief that Outlook (including Office 365 and Outlook.com) already has all the features required but power users just need additional help when dealing with massive amounts of complex email.As a result, CleanOut works with your existing Outlook email, calendar and tasks so you can seamlessly switch back and forth at any time depending on how many messages you have.

Your data stays local. Data security is important to everyone, so it is reassuring to know that with CleanOut your email never leaves your machine. Beware of solutions that process your email in some unknown location “in the cloud”.

Its more relaxing.We have enough things to worry about in our busy lives that email shouldn’t be one of them.Opening your email to find a screen full of unread messages is not fun and trying to decide which one is the most important to read first is stressful.CleanOut uses the power of advanced AI to guide you through your most important messages, in priority order, leaving you to decide what action you need to take. The end-result is a much more natural workflow that is more relaxing and less stressful.

It just works.As a busy person you don’t have time for “toy apps” as the decisions you need to make are much more complex than simply deleting newsletters and social media alerts. CleanOut is a powerful tool that gets the job done! It gives insight into your most complex business emails and allows you to go through your email faster than any other solution while still ensuring you don’t miss anything.Try it and we are sure you will agree.

Security regarding email is an important topic for any organization so you can rest assured that CleanOut runs 100% locally(i.e.no data leaves your device), and it is built upon proven Microsoft standards like Azure AD and Exchange.

The CleanOut for Office 365 app has been reviewed and certified by Microsoft and the CleanOut for Outlook Add-in is signed with a Symantec Extended Validation Certificate indicating it is safe to install.

The good news is that using CleanOut is actually easier than the way you do it today.Just like going from driving a manual transmission car to an automatic, CleanOut automates the process so you can worry about more important things.

Benefits

It is a badge of honor for many executives to maintain an open-door policy and to manage their own emails but it is difficult to do both.Incorporating periodic use of CleanOut into your hectic schedule will drastically reduce the amount of time you spend processing email and free your mind during meetings and calls to focus on the topic at hand.Batching of email into dedicated blocks of time with CleanOut, will ensure you go the most important topic first and finish quickly.

It's incredible to consider that Outlook, given its popularity in terms of both number of users and minutes per day spent using it, doesn’t have a structured workflow like your other enterprise applications. With minimal installation effort, CleanOut is “low hanging fruit” that you can introduce to give a productivity boost to all your Office 365 and Outlook users and put a dent in those constantly growing Exchange mailbox sizes.

Whether you are in management or an individual contributor, CleanOut will help you take control of your email so that you can:

Reduce the stress associated with keeping up with email and even make it fun

Reduce your dependence on email on your phone or tablet, outside of work

Save an hour per day! Turn that into an additional billable hour, an hour doing something much more strategic, an extra hour spent with the family or even an extra hour of sleep!
