Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Help me clean my inbox in passes. Start with the oldest mail: group by sender and type, propose folders and an unsubscribe list, and wait for my OK before moving or unsubscribing. After the backlog is done, every morning summarize new mail, file it into the agreed folders, and list new unsubscribe candidates.
