GMX Mail Storage Cleaner

The GMX Mail Storage Cleaner script automates the deletion of emails in your GMX mailbox. Instead of manually deleting a maximum of 50 emails per request, this script retrieves the total number of emails in a specified folder, fetches their URIs, and deletes them in bulk. This is particularly useful for cleaning up large volumes of emails efficiently.
