Frequently Asked Questions
What is Outlook's Clean Up feature?
Outlook's Clean Up removes redundant messages in email threads (when a later reply contains the full conversation). It does not detect spam, phishing, or bulk promotional emails. Gorganizer's scoring engine handles all of these.
Does Outlook have a spam cleaner?
Outlook has a basic junk filter and the Sweep function for sender-based deletion. These are useful for light maintenance but are not designed for deep inbox cleaning or threat detection.
Can I use Gorganizer with an Outlook account?
Currently Gorganizer is Gmail-specific (uses the Gmail API). If your Outlook account is also accessible via Gmail/Google Workspace, it can be connected. Native Outlook/Exchange support is on the roadmap.
