Comment on Self-hostee storage for Gmail

I think there is a possibility to have a local client using Gmail, with a rule set to delete mails on Gmail as soon as they are synced locally. So in this case Gmail would be nothing more than a relay/proxy, while your mails would actually be offline.

You can access Gmail over IMAP and pull down messages locally. If you do this; Back. Up. Your. Mbox.
Also, fun fact, you can move messages from a local mbox to Gmail while preserving read status and original dates if you want to add old email to Gmail for some reason.
