Decide what should stop
Write whether you want to pause a rule, disconnect one mailbox or leave the service entirely. These are different changes with different consequences. Start by reviewing active behavior so you know what may still affect incoming mail. Do not assume deleting an application icon cancels a server-side rule or subscription. This checklist describes questions to verify; it is not a universal sequence of buttons for every provider.
Use the correct access controls
Consult the provider’s current connected-application controls and the cleaner’s own account guidance. Confirm the exact service and account before removing anything. Organization-managed accounts may require their administrator’s process. Do not remove unrelated integrations while cleaning up one service. Keep the confirmation of the access change without copying credentials into your notes, and distinguish that confirmation from a financial cancellation or a promise that historical data has been erased.
Check billing independently
Find the purchase receipt and identify who handles the subscription. Follow that seller’s current cancellation route and record the stated effective date. Disconnecting a mailbox is not proof that renewal has stopped. Conversely, stopping renewal is not proof that previously authorized access has been revoked. If either outcome is unclear, ask the responsible provider through its official support route rather than inferring one from the other.
Verify ordinary mailbox use
After the relevant changes, inspect the mailbox through its provider and review whether wanted mail remains accessible. Update the rule register and note any behavior that should no longer occur. Do not manufacture transactions to test delivery or immediately replace the removed service with another opaque rule layer. A successful exit means you understand remaining access, expected behavior and billing status, with unresolved questions recorded explicitly instead of hidden behind a single done checkbox.
