On a related note, how can I run internal mailserver that stores mail locally on my network, accessible through IMAP or web interface, and uses accounts on a POP3/IMAP-capable public server like Gmail only to receive and send mail (no long-term storage)? Where should I look?
I'm comfortable with setting up a VM, but I don't know much about email.
- mcint 6y agoAh, misread. I was just looking into entirely self-hosting this last week. https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#email https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#ema... See especially homebox, Mail-in-a-box "complete solutions". With brief exploration you might also be comfortable with just running the MTA for sending and forwarding, and MDA for "delivery", i.e. reading.
- rkeene2 6y agoI would use something like OfflineIMAP to sync from an external IMAP server to your own Dovecot instance, assuming you want the local copy to be kept in sync (e.g., read status should be copied to the local copy as it changes, etc).
