How to delete biodegradable TicTag emails?

Each tagged email indicates a lifespan. Once passed, the email can be deleted in bulk.

Sorting step by step

The process is simple and quick. You can do it once a year.

No need to re-read each message, no need to hesitate. The lifespan was decided at the time of sending. Your only task: search, select, delete.

The deletion process

Follow the timeline below to clean your inbox in a few minutes.

Search for a TicTag tag

In your inbox search bar, type TicTag1Y (ou TicTag3Y, or TicTag5Y).

TicTag1Y TicTag3Y TicTag5Y

Filter by date

Note the send date of each email. For example: today is 25 March 2026. If you search TicTag1Y, all emails dated before 25 March 2025 are concerned.

Select in bulk

Select all emails from the expired period. Most mail clients allow "select all" with one click.

Delete in bulk

Delete. You are deleting single-use emails whose lifespan was indicated from the start. No hesitation needed.

Repeat with other tags

Faites la même chose avec TicTag3Y et TicTag5Y en adaptant la période.

You decide yourself

TicTag does nothing automatically. The tag is an indication, not a command. You remain in control of your emails.

Every deleted email counts

Every deleted email reduces unnecessary storage and your carbon footprint. A small gesture, but multiplied across millions of inboxes, the impact is real.

  • Less storage on servers
  • Less energy consumed
  • A concrete action for the planet

What if an email needs to be kept?

Sometimes a tagged email contains information you want to keep after all. No problem.

Forward it to yourself

Forward it to yourself after removing the tag from the text. You keep the information without the tag, and the original email can be deleted normally.

Bonus: clean up without TicTag

Even without a TicTag tag, you can sort your inbox. Here's a simple tip:

Search for sorting keywords

Search in your inbox for terms like "unsubscribe", "désabonner" ou "promo". These words appear in most newsletters and marketing emails. Select them in bulk and delete.
