A very interesting video about the Thunderbird Project successful donation process and how KDE can improve them by following their step.

    I go one step further and host my own mail server so I can access my mail archive from all my devices on the fly. In Thunderbird it’s easy to set all the accounts “Archive”-folder to folders on my own server - Archive button truly archives the e-mails in my archive, not just a folder on their server.

      I should do that too at some point. I’m using Claws Mail not Thunderbird, which stores each message in its own file.

      First step is to find an IMAP server that won’t complain that the format is not-quite-maildir, and also not balk that they’re read-only.

          Worst case scenario I’ll write my own. Can’t be too hard to put together a simple IMAP server that only works read-only to list folders and read messages.
