Delete all promotional emails in Outlook
Outlook doesn't have a Gmail-style Promotions tab, so deals and marketing land right in your inbox. Sender Sweep detects promotional and newsletter senders and clears them in one bulk action.
🔒 Your email is processed entirely in your browser. We never see it.
The problem
Promotions come from dozens of stores and services, each with its own address. Without a single 'Promotions' bucket, you're left deleting them a sender — or a message — at a time, and they refill by tomorrow morning.
The manual Outlook way
Outlook can group and sweep some of it for you:
- 1In Outlook.com, check whether promos are being filed under a category or the Other tab (Focused/Other), and review there.
- 2Search from:store@example.com for a specific retailer, select all, and delete.
- 3Right-click a promotional sender and choose Sweep → Delete all, then set it to keep the inbox clear going forward.
- 4Repeat for each retailer or marketing sender — there's no single 'delete all promotions' button.
Because Outlook has no Promotions category, there's nothing to select all of at once. You end up sweeping retailer by retailer, and unsubscribing separately if you want them to stop for good.
Sender Sweep groups the promos for you
- Promotional and newsletter senders are detected and flagged automatically.
- Group by domain to collapse every address from a company into one row and clear the whole brand at once.
- Bulk-delete all the promos you never open — and unsubscribe from the ones worth stopping, in the same pass.
Frequently asked
Does Outlook have a Promotions tab like Gmail?
No. Outlook uses Focused/Other and categories instead, so promotions usually land in your main inbox. Sender Sweep detects promotional senders so you can clear them in bulk anyway.
Can I stop promotions from coming back?
Yes — unsubscribe from the newsletter and promotional senders (Sender Sweep surfaces a one-click unsubscribe) so they stop at the source, and delete the back-catalog at the same time.
Does my email get sent to a server?
No. All scanning and cleanup happens in your browser via Microsoft Graph. The backend only sees your plan and usage counts, never your email.
