creating one or more rules to copy, from the first mailbox to the second mailbox, one or more new email messages received after the copying the one or more stored email messages and associated with at least one of the first email subscription or the second email subscription.

4. The method of claim 1 , the transferring comprising:

providing a first notification to a first source of the first email subscription to transfer the first email subscription from the first email address to the second email address; and

providing a second notification to a second source of the second email subscription to transfer the second email subscription from the first email address to the second email address.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

the providing a first notification comprising providing a first notification email message to the first source; and

the providing a second notification comprising providing a second notification email message to the second source.

6. The method of claim 5 , a first header of the first notification email message comprising a third request to transfer the first email subscription from the first email address to the second email address in accordance with a first protocol, a second header of the second notification email message comprising a fourth request to transfer the second email subscription from the first email address to the second email address in accordance with the first protocol.

7. The method of claim 1 , the transferring comprising:

copying one or more stored email messages associated with at least one of the first email subscription or the second email subscription from the first mailbox to a second mailbox of the second email address;

providing a first notification to a first source of the first email subscription to transfer the first email subscription from the first email address to the second email address; and

providing a second notification to a second source of the second email subscription to transfer the second email subscription from the first email address to the second email address.

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising, after the identifying a plurality of email subscriptions and before the transferring:

providing, to the device, a list of the plurality of email subscriptions; and

receiving, from the device, a selection of the first email subscription and the second email subscription from the list, the transferring performed based upon the selection.

9. The method of claim 1 , the first request also associated with a transfer of email subscriptions from a third email address to the second email address.

10. The method of claim 9 , comprising:

providing, to the device, a third request for access information associated with the third email address;

receiving, from the device, the access information associated with the third email address;

using the access information associated with the third email address to access a third mailbox of the third email address; and

identifying a plurality of email subscriptions associated with the third email address based upon the third mailbox.

11. The method of claim 10 , comprising:

providing, to the device, a combined list of the plurality of email subscriptions associated with the first email address and the plurality of email subscriptions associated with the third email address.

12. The method of claim 10 , comprising:

determining one or more redundant email subscriptions between the plurality of email subscriptions associated with the first email address and the plurality of email subscriptions associated with the third email address.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying one or more patterns comprises determining that the one or more first messages and the one or more second messages were received from a common source.

14. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

performing an aggregate analysis of multiple mailboxes, comprising the first mailbox of the user and a second mailbox of a second user, to identify at least one email subscription, wherein the aggregate analysis identifies at least one of a same message or a similar message in the first mailbox of the user and the second mailbox of the second user; and

transferring the at least one email subscription from the first email address to the second email address.

15. A computing device comprising:

a processor; and

memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:

receiving, from a device associated with a user, a first request associated with a transfer of subscriptions from a first account to a second account;

responsive to receiving the first request, providing, to the device, a second request for access information associated with the first account;

receiving, from the device, the access information associated with the first account;

using the access information associated with the first account to access a first storage space of the first account;

responsive to accessing the first storage space, scanning messages stored in the first storage space to identify one or more messages likely to have been received by the user as part of a subscription, wherein the identifying comprises comparing one or more first messages stored in the first storage space with one or more second messages stored in the first storage space to identify one or more patterns associated with one or more subscriptions, wherein the identifying one or more patterns comprises determining that a first interval between reception of a first message of the one or more messages and reception of a second message of the one or more messages is at least one of the same as or similar to a second interval between reception of the second message of the one or more messages and reception of a third message of the one or more messages;
