Hey all,

I have given up hope of hosting my own mail server but was hoping for one that would serve as an archive -

  • downloads new emails via IMAP from my mail provider on a regular basis
  • allows my mail clients to connect via IMAP to view and search emails

Any suggestions for a docker solution for this?

Thanks

allows my mail clients to connect via IMAP to view and search emails

dovecot will be able to handle this part. This is what I use as a mail archive (once a year, archive all mail from the previous year from various mailboxes to my self-hosted dovecot instance). I wrote this ansible role for it.

downloads new emails via IMAP

As others recommended, imapsync should be able to handle that part.

docker solution

These tools are simple enough to install and manage (one package, one config file), Docker is not needed. If you really need it to fit into your docker-based setup, build and maintain your own images.
