I wanted a deep insights on my 70K emails before I can clean them - without AI or Cloud - so i built InboxPie - A Private Thunderbird extension.
I built InboxPie — an extension to finally understand and clean your inbox
I had 70,000 emails in my mailbox and couldn't bring myself to delete anything because I didn't understand what I was looking at. So I built InboxPie — an extension that visualizes your entire inbox as an interactive sunburst chart.
What it does:
- Shows you your email patterns: which senders, which domains, broken down by year and month
- Dark + light theme toggle
- Export to CSV/JSON if you want to analyze further
- Safe delete: select emails and move them to trash (fully recoverable)
What it doesn't do:
- No cloud syncing
- No email content reading (metadata only)
- No external APIs or registration
- Everything runs on your machine
Open source because trust matters. If I'm asking you to point InboxPie at your mailbox, you should be able to read the code.
Add it: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-GB/thunderbird/addon/inboxpie/
Source code: https://github.com/AKSarav/inboxpie
Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's been sitting on a full inbox for way too long like me.
it's MIT licensed, zero monetization plans, just wanted to share something useful with the Thunderbird community.
