Give messages that need action and newsletters you choose to read different places in your routine. Your mail provider controls where original messages go; Readless can provide optional scheduled summaries of selected eligible sources. Forwarding alone does not delete or archive original mail, and summaries do not guarantee an empty inbox or complete coverage.
Explore ReadlessPro is US$4.90/month, billed monthly in USD. Eligible new Pro accounts can try it for 7 days. A payment card is required; cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge. Max is a separate paid plan, not automatically included in the Pro trial. Publisher subscriptions remain separate.
A forward and an archive or delete action are different settings. Choose how the original should be handled, including whether you want to keep it for full reading or later retrieval. Changing mailbox handling does not cancel a publisher subscription or transfer a paid membership.
Gmail's filter instructions describe labeling, archiving, deleting, starring and forwarding matching messages; forwarding filters apply to new matching mail. Outlook's rule instructions describe conditions, actions and exceptions. Use guidance for your version and account; new Outlook does not support these rules for third-party accounts such as Gmail, and organization policies may restrict forwarding.
Use your assigned Readless address for permitted received newsletter forwarding or suitable new subscriptions. You can also connect accessible RSS, Atom or Substack sources. Keep publisher sign-in, delivery and paid access under your control; a connection does not unlock protected posts or import a complete archive.
Pro supports up to 3 schedules with separate Concise or Detailed source summaries and sender filters. Choose selected days and a local whole hour, and check the saved account timezone. Optional Hot Topics can highlight a specific story covered by at least two distinct newsletter senders; source summaries remain separate. Paid Max is US$9/month, billed monthly in USD, with up to 8 schedules and adds optional Synthesis with source references and custom instructions. Max is not automatically included in the Pro trial.
Source availability, recipient readiness, selection and processing limits affect inclusion. A schedule does not guarantee every issue or detail, a complete calendar-day or week window, or that omitted items appear in the next digest. A run without eligible content may produce no digest; generation and email delivery affect when it arrives. Check actual output before depending on a new routine.
For long-term retrieval, retain permitted copies in your mail provider or another archive you control and check its own search and retention settings. Received emails in Readless are available only while stored under retention limits. Available digest references may open a stored received email rather than the publisher's canonical article; publisher access restrictions still apply.
Read the original when wording, charts or context matter. AI can omit or misstate information, and filtering or repeated-story detection can miss material. A source reference is a place to check a claim, not proof of complete coverage or accurate interpretation.
AI and other service providers process content under the privacy policy and their applicable policies. Review the service terms when deciding what content you are allowed to send.
No. Forwarding alone sends a copy; it does not delete or archive the original message. If you want matching newsletters to skip the primary inbox or move to a folder, configure the appropriate action in your mail provider and check the result. Keep originals you want to read or retain. Readless does not independently clean up your personal mailbox or change a publisher membership.
Mailbox rules can label, move, archive or forward messages according to the conditions and actions you configure. They are useful for deciding where originals go. Readless is an optional reading format: scheduled summaries of selected eligible content. You can use rules alone, read newsletters in full, or combine these choices. A summary does not guarantee an empty inbox, complete coverage or a particular reading-time result.
Yes. Decide which messages need a reply, a task, a later review or no further action. Keep newsletters you want to read in full in a place you will revisit, and try summaries for selected recurring updates when useful. A digest can still remain unread, and urgent correspondence or alerts need their own timely channel. Choose the routine from your actual mail and reading needs.
Keep permitted long-term copies in your mail provider or another archive you control, and use that system's retrieval tools and retention settings. Received emails in Readless are available only while stored under retention limits. A digest reference may open a stored email rather than the publisher's canonical article; publisher access restrictions still apply. Do not rely on Readless as a permanent complete searchable archive of every newsletter.
Yes. Pro and Max can connect accessible RSS and Atom feeds and supported Substack sources alongside received newsletters. Feed text can be complete, partial or a link. A connection does not unlock paid posts or backfill the full archive, and feed support does not guarantee complete summaries of embedded audio or video. Source availability and processing limits affect which eligible content appears.
Check the provider rule's matching conditions and original-message action, then inspect a real new matching message. If you choose Readless, confirm that permitted content reaches your assigned address or connected source, verify recipient readiness, choose selected days and a local whole hour, and check the saved timezone. Review an actual digest against available originals before expanding the setup. There is no fixed setup duration, first-arrival deadline or timeline for reaching inbox zero.
Keep the original handling explicit in your mail provider, try summaries only where useful and compare a resulting digest with available originals. Change the source selection, rule or reading format according to your own needs.
