https://github.com/markushinz/aws-ses-pop3-server https://github.com/markushinz/aws-ses-pop3-server
SES -> S3 -> aws-ses-pop3-server -> desktop client with POP3 and SMTP
Using this option, email is only really usable from a single device, but it avoids sharing private emails with yet another cloud, especially a free cloud that would share email with advertisers.
- boronine 5y agoEDIT: Wanting a minimal implementation, I instead made a script: 1. List email files in S3 2. For each file, download into a local maildir-style directory, then delete original 3. Use `mutt -f ./maildir` to browse
- thenickdude 5y agoHmm you could probably use the AWS CLI's "aws s3 sync" command for that right? Sounds pretty practical
- boronine 5y agoYou can probably make that work, just have to be careful deleting from S3, make sure to only delete those emails you imported and not accidentally delete an email that arrived during the import process. My personal setup makes heavy use of rclone so I used that instead of awscli: https://gist.github.com/boronine/661fd24ba6671f687ff714969d961b85 https://gist.github.com/boronine/661fd24ba6671f687ff714969d9...
