I have Fastmail and other private email services but I've been unable to really move over because of all the integrations that Gmail has. Automatic email scanning for trip details, calendar integrations, searches from the web also surfacing details from emails, google voice, tons of other apps and extensions.
It would be a nice if there was a way to get all this functionality beyond Gmail.
- Yetanfou 7y agoI use a private Searx instance which includes searches over my own document archive in its results. To achieve this I made a new Searx 'engine' [1] - which is essentially a proxy between the Searx instance and another search engine - which connects Searx to a Recoll instance. Since Recoll can also search email it would be fairly trivial to include results from there as well although I have never used this. The 'engine' would need to be extended in such as way as to communicate the (logged-in) username to Recoll so it returns results from the correct email account (or no email account for anonymous users) but that is a fairly trivial change.
