If you need it for this, and only this, the setup is actually very simple, you just need an IMAP server like dovecot https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/mail_dovecot
being extremely lazy, you can use Thunderbird
I use thunderbird connected to my normal mail account and the dovecot server to transfer mail archives between both.
I used to backup my mail to the “Local folders” account in thunderbird; that also works. It’s more for the convenience of having “everything on the server” and having access to my mail archive from a laptop and a desktop. It’s also easier to backup and restore for me.
Simplest solution is often the best. To add to this, Thunderbird has what are called Local folders. If you have your other email accounts added, you can simply drag and drop everything into the Local folder to move them off the cloud and into local storage. No email server required. Definitely a good idea to take backups if storing important stuff locally though.
Yeah I thought about it, but I couldn’t quite understand where the files went and how to restore on a new machine…
I like having everything on server. it takes care of backups, and the laptop/client can be reinstalled without fear
That sounds like what I want! Thanks! 🙏
I was thinking of using it for local email from other self-hosted services, but I am getting too old to set it up
