imap-backup VS postsack

Personally, I use https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup to archive all my emails and then only keep them on the remote server for as long as I need to (basically until I read them and respond or download an attachment into https://docs.paperless-ngx.com )

I use imap-backup to backup my MailCow email boxes.

You'd need an IMAP backup tool. For example: https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup . Add it to cron if you want it to backup periodically.

Here's a bad idea that may work. https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup. I used something like this when we migrated from ridiculous email system to exchange. However the clock is ticking on this option as it doesn't support modern authentication.

I've recently used trunk for the first time. It is a huge improvement to the current way of building a Rust wasm app. For one of my apps that doesn't use trunk, I'm maintaining these two scripts to set up a system and to compile a wasm bundle:

I wrote a cross platform Desktop app that can analyze these email backups to provide a visual clustering of the contents of your mails.

It parses my 13gb Gmail backup in under a minute.

I recently finished a cross platform app written w/ Rust / egui: https://github.com/terhechte/postsack

Coming from Swift, it was actually a fun experience. It doesn’t look very native, but neither does electron..

Another nice Rust ui framework is Druid: https://github.com/linebender/druid

- Image support isn't particularly nice. Loading textures and accessing them at runtime is a bit of a hassle. Here's the code to load a PNG (https://github.com/terhechte/postsack/blob/main/ps-gui/src/textures.rs). In other similar frameworks (say Nannou or Bevy) this is usually one line (https://github.com/nannou-org/nannou/blob/master/examples/draw/draw_texture.rs) (Bevy actually has a very nice handle system to allow access to loaded resources from anywhere).
