Comment on Self-hostee storage for Gmail

I use the same setup as @conrad82@lemmy.world described. So selfhosted mail server and manual transfer via thunderbird.
If I get you right, you already have a similar setup. Then you are asking only for a automatic solution to transfer the emails from one account to another. Right?
Haven’t tried it, but what about docker-mbsync? Or maybe you can put together an image like this on your own (cron job & simple email sync/transfer client, maybe mbsync or imapsync)?
Then you could sync all folders to your local account. In your email client you can use the imap settings from local account and smtp settings from gmail. You could even host your client too.

It’s really more of a proxy setup that I’m looking for. With thunderbird, you can get what I’m describing for a single client. But if I want to have access to those emails from several clients, there needs to be a shared server to access.
docker-mbsync might be a component I could use, but doesn’t sound like there’s a ready-made solution for this today.

dovecot provides a proper shared imap server. But not all email clients allow moving emails between accounts (gmail and local email server), but Thunderbird does.
I can access the emails from any client
