offlineimap VS Podgrab

There are also isync and OfflineIMAP which sync email locally.

I'd consider using the Bridge + offlineimap (or a similar tool). That can connect via IMAP to both the Bridge IMAP and your destination IMAP service and copy all mails automatically that way.

As u/alex_herrero says, Proton Mail Bridge is very much useful. I'm using this myself together with offlineimap to have a local backup. I also use the Bridge with Thunderbird too, which also works quite well (especially the v3 beta).

For the sync / import functionality the MSP uses offlineimap, which is another counterpart to IMAPSYNC. Changing the import tool will not bring up the solution to the main problem, that I am not able to reset the imported stuff back to zero in order to test the different scenarios of the main use case.

Don't risk relying on someone else's hardware or service, use something like Offlineimap or Mbsync to sync your emails to your computer then automate multiple backups.

Many people use OfflineIMAP.

I've used offlineimap in the past: http://www.offlineimap.org/

I'm looking into replacing Thunderbird with mu4e (for the first time, despite being an Emacs guy for 15 years) and I got unexpectedly stuck at step 1, dowloading my email. offlineimap is broken on newer Pythons, getmail doesn't support Python 3 at all, and fetchmail is infamously inscrutable. It all seems a bit ridiculous, but I guess it speaks to how webmail has come to dominate proper email clients. Any recommendations?

Neither a mutt, nor an offlineimap user, but I believe those two are often used in combination: http://www.offlineimap.org/

I use Podgrab[0].

Light footprint, easy to use -- and no reliance on Google or anyone else.

I found a great tool for myself as a programmer here but not everybody knows how to set that up https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab. So I build a simple little website here for anybody who has the same problem.

Something podgrab could fix? https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab

How does it compare to podgrab?

I created an alternative for [Podgrab](https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab) named [PodFetch](https://github.com/SamTV12345/PodFetch) it contains more features than Podgrab and also includes many bug fixes like a local RSS feed. (Bonus: The backend is written in Rust :D ). You can search podcasts via iTunes or via PodcastIndex.org, download, find local podcasts or subscribe to the local rss feeds.

Podgrab to download my podcasts

I am thinking that if users are willing to automate a workflow to download new episodes to their Plex Library ( just came across podgrab (https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab) which makes me think automating episode download to Plex library should be easy. And then your podcast app can do the magic you have done with Prologue.

It looks like there's an option to export an OPML file containing Podgrab feed links, which could then be imported into any application (I like AntennaPod)
