How to organize my emails into one cohesive and query-able archive? Several mailboxes and 40GBs of emails. 15 years of records. Any advice appreciated.

  • mu

    maildir indexer/searcher + emacs mail client + guile bindings

    • If you don't mind Emacs (or even like it), mu & mu4e does a pretty good job of managing large mailboxes. It similarly requires syncing emails, whether via imap or pop3 like the above comment.

  • comms-analyzer-toolbox

    Tool for OSINT forensic analysis, search and graphing of communications content such as email MBOX files and CSV text message data using Elasticsearch and Kibana

    • I've used the open source commsanalyzer docker in the past to make large mailboxes searchable offline, but it sadly hasn't been too well maintained. See https://github.com/bitsofinfo/comms-analyzer-toolbox
