11 months agoI ended up installing dovecot, along with one of the search engines it can use for server side imap searching. It works really well, is really fast, and didn’t require setting up user databases or any of that stuff.
I live in that world by outsourcing article fetching to external services and storing all messages/articles locally. The basic setup is this:
Emails:
RSS/Atom feeds:
All 3 of these services do their job regardless of whether Emacs is running, and nnimap is super fast when the server is local.
I don’t read actual newsgroups anymore. If I did, I’d install Leafnode for them. But I wonder if the nntp backend would benefit to the same extent that nnimap does.
