What Hacker News says

4 sources
I wrote a small tool in go which allows you to delete email in bulk by sender. It uses the gmail api and conforms to rate limits. It’s pretty neat! Slow, perhaps, the first time you run it since it fetches threads one at a time. https://github.com/poundifdef/gmail-deleter The next step would be to have it save and archive email threads. (Would this be useful to anyone?)
