name: outlook-email-subscription-cleanup description: Clean up Outlook newsletters and recurring subscription email safely. Use when the user wants to unsubscribe, separate newsletters from human mail, move recurring senders into folders, or organize low-signal subscription traffic without losing important messages.
Outlook Email Subscription Cleanup
Overview
Use this skill for newsletter and subscription cleanup. Outlook organization is folder- and category-oriented, so prefer unsubscribe inspection first, then category or folder organization when the user wants the remaining mail tamed.
Relevant Actions
- Use
search_messagesorlist_messagesto build the sender or newsletter shortlist. - Use
get_unsubscribe_infobefore attempting an unsubscribe action. - Use
unsubscribe_via_mailtoonly when the connector exposes amailto:unsubscribe target. - Use
list_categories,create_category, andset_message_categorieswhen the user wants newsletter tagging instead of moving mail. - Use
find_mail_folder,create_mail_folder, andmove_emailwhen the user wants recurring subscription traffic separated into folders.
Workflow
- Build a shortlist of recurring low-signal senders or newsletter-like messages.
- Separate true subscriptions from transactional mail, alerts, or automated messages that may still matter operationally.
- Inspect unsubscribe metadata before claiming a safe unsubscribe path exists.
- If unsubscribe is not supported through the connector, fall back to category or folder organization instead of pretending the cleanup is complete.
- Keep irreversible or high-volume mailbox changes explicit in the response. Say what you plan to unsubscribe, move, or tag before doing it.
- Prefer a small, explainable cleanup pass over a broad noisy sweep.
Output
- Group results by
Unsubscribe,Keep but Organize, andNeeds Human Review. - For unsubscribe candidates, say whether the path is a supported
mailto:action or only an informational header. - For organization actions, say which category or folder each sender should map to.
- If the cleanup scope is heuristic, state the query or mailbox slice you used.
