I would rather be able to see statistics about the domains of the email I receive instead, to see offenders etc. I already created a lot of filters for that, which helps a lot do some cleanup.

Also, I seem to have a lot of attachments, like a lot, and I can't clean them up, because gmail doesn't let me see the datasize clearly.

I downloaded my mail as an export, I think EML, I wanted to build a mail list myself to see attachments with a python script, but I think gmail doesn't export all the metadata of how mail are chained with each other and such.

Unfortunately, I think your extension cannot really do statistics on an existing mailbox, to see a map of mail counts per domain.



At the moment the extension's side bar shows mail count per sender, not domain. You can also order from highest to lowest. Does that suffice for you?

You're right Gmail does not show the datasize clearly, but to get emails with large attachments, you can use search filters like: "larger:15M", where 15M is 15 megabytes. It's not exactly what you want but might help


Gmail API gives you the email file as MIME file.

From there is a bit up to you and depending on actually what data you get.

But I had a reasonable simple time with parsing it and getting data out of it while building https://getgabrielai.com


That reminds me of xobni, which MS acquired years ago. It was pretty awesome, when it first came out.
