Hello people,
i'm working on a concept for my email workflow which actually looks basically like this:
1. fetch mails (periodically) from multiple IMAP accounts (delete afterwards from IMAP) and store in
one MailDir
2. index mails for searching (
tool: notmuch)
3. provide virtual MailDir to support notmuch search queries (
tool: notmuchfs)
4. manage mails with mutt
My idea behind this is to have one bucket full of mails and manage them via tagging. I'm aware that I can't use multiple devices with one IMAP account that way but I also don't have all my mails on remote servers all the time.
So here are my Questions:
1. Is there a tool that can fetch mails from IMAP to MailDir
and delete them afterwards from server? (it seems like offlineimap, isync and fetchmail don't).
2. What disadvantages/advantages do you see with this workflow?
3. What changes to my workflow would you recommend?
I'm looking forward seeing you participate in this thread.
