  IMAP client from the switchboard project ported to Elixir (by voughtdq)

Hey! I ported switchboard from Erlang to Elixir to get a better sense about how certain Elixir constructs translate to Erlang.

It's an IMAP client for Elixir which you might find useful in your project! I should really get around to creating a reference example for monitoring a single mailbox.

  maildir indexer/searcher + emacs mail client + guile bindings

I have not used that so can't comment. However, it looks like it is on top of IMAP or JMAP. I have >70K mails in my archive. Try that with IMAP and do a search and you will see what is wrong.

In comparison, LIV read mails directly off the maildir. It is basically the dumb down, web version of mu (https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/), which LIV is based off.

Maybe my statement about other open source webmail is too provoking; but I think this is one of a new kind of webmail.

• docker-mailserver

  92 13,292 9.5 Shell

  Production-ready fullstack but simple mail server (SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, Antispam, Antivirus, etc.) running inside a container.

  

Just use a relay server to manage deliverability issues , dkim setup for you , like aws ses

Atleast that way youre receiving emails still stay hosted and private on your personal server , and outgoing emails get delivered by ses.

Ses is pretty cheap too, heck its literally free for 2000 emails or so per month, so no extra cost for personal email servers.

https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver

Something like this , lets you setup a decent mailserver under 10 mins with next to now maintenance needed.

(Only had to log back in once , to update the docker image itself)
