Users can compile the emails they do want into a daily “roll up”, a collection or daily digest of their favorite emails. These could be newsletters, updates from others, or promotions from stores. Whatever they want to see everyday, they can add it to their roll up. All the other emails remain in the inbox for later reading.

Is Unroll.Me - Email Cleanup safe for my kids?
Unroll.Me is safe for kids, but it’s mostly suited for older teens and adults. Kids will not really have a use for Unroll.Me and most of them likely don't have email inboxes of their own yet. That being said, it’s a great resource for busy parents.
Unroll.Me’s controls are easy to use; just swipe on the smartphone screen to roll up emails or dispose of them. Lots of people like the three categories they can sort their emails into: unsubscribe, roll up, or keep. Moreover, it’s easy to resubscribe or edit your rolled up emails.
This app needs to verify that the user has an email address, obviously, so lots of kids won’t be able to access it. Keep in mind that the app will be able to see whatever lands in your inbox.
Parents should know that in 2017 Unroll.Me was involved in a privacy scandal in which they were using the data collected in this app and selling it to other companies.
If parents are looking for a kid-centric email app, there are some available in the App Store and the Google Play Store such as Kids Email, Tocomail, and Maily Your Kid’s First Email. Unroll.Me is free of inappropriate content, access to other users’ email accounts or inboxes, and themes like tech addiction.
