i have a few mbox files that i’d like to be able to search from any device - but not to send or receive email. is there a go-to lightweight self-hosted service for this?

IMAP server like dovecot https://lemmy.world/comment/813653
Access it from thunderbird or a dedicated web interface (still can’t find a good one after all these years)
I’d either try loading them into elastic search as a document per email… alternatively, something like mairix or even Thunderbird should do it
Have you looked into notmuch?
I am also interested in this, my workaround is loading the emails via imap on gmail but i don’t really like it
I ended up with installing a dovecot IMAP server that i can connect to from any email client. but no smtp to send emails
Then you connect to the imap server from the email client and search that way
for now i’ve just installed mairix and will search that via ssh, i’ll look into all the other suggestions when i have more time, thanks everyone :D
