   Mail Memories – A desktop app to rescue photos from Gmail▲103

   Hey HN, I’m the creator of Mail Memories. Like many of you, I've had my Gmail address for more than 20 years.

I ended up finding lots of "lost" pictures of old friends, family members, and a ridiculous number of vintage memes.

I built mailtrim to surface this pattern: - ranks senders by actual storage impact (not just count) - confidence scoring on what's safe to bulk-delete - 30-day undo on everything — nothing is permanent by default - runs entirely locally, no email data leaves your machine Free, open source (MIT). No subscription, no backend. One friction point upfront: Gmail API setup is one-time, ~15 min. After that it's just `mailtrim…
