Prompt / template
Look at my last [30] days of email. Group senders into: people I actually reply to, bills and accounts I need, newsletters I open, and promotions I never open. Show it as a table with how many emails each sender sent. Suggest which to unsubscribe from and which to filter into a folder. Don't delete or unsubscribe from anything; just give me the list.
