MailSift

About

MailSift helps students keep Gmail focused during college application season.

The extension scans Gmail for college admissions promotional emails and moves matched messages into a Gmail label called College Ads. It is designed for students who receive lots of admissions, campus visit, undergraduate program, and application-related promotional emails but still want to protect important school, testing, scholarship, counseling, research, and lab messages.

What MailSift does:
- Connects to Gmail with user permission
- Scans inbox messages for college admissions noise
- Moves matched emails into College Ads
- Keeps protected senders and topics in the main inbox
- Lets users customize what should never be filtered
- Provides a clear report showing what was moved, protected, checked, or skipped

MailSift runs client-side as a Chrome extension. It does not use a separate cloud backend. Gmail access is used only to scan and organize the user’s mailbox according to their settings.

This version is intended for testing and early feedback.
