Comment on Store (and access) old emails
atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoWhy would you want a mail specific stack of hosting, storage, indexing and frontends? If it’s all plain text anyway so the regular storage solutions for files come a long way.
Because email has metadata. From, to, sent date, subject, etc. Plus attachments that may be binary.

Must admit, those fields are precisely the ones I use in my filenaming convention. Other DMS put that in their databases but alas that’s just trading one stack for another.
Other ones put it in XMP metadata of the pdf themselves. But I guess the work involved would be similar.
