"Thundermail" will be part of a suite of Thunderbird Pro services, as the team behind the venerable Mozilla email client begins building a complete ecosystem.
Here’s what I want… I leave a computer on at home and it checks my email. I get emails from it at my phone. No setup. Make it work like Sinkthing used to work. I don’t want cloud anything. Fucking backup nightmare where my shit ends up kidnapped by a company for monthly ransom.
It works I already tried. But I stopped short of jumping on board because its not the safest. No, what we need is some fedi style development. We need email on fedi.

if it’s anything like gmail, they’d offer imap so you can set it up in thunderbird and download your messages locally.
Sooo… where will be your email server then? On your home computer?
At home but separate computer with reverse proxy.
Oh You will have trouble getting your outbound mail delivered

Syncthing still works like that. It’s completely self hostable. I have it on a pi 1B+ lol
I have it but it eats up battery on the phones and the Dev left so it’s probably going to go caput at some point.
Aw man, I really love syncthing, especially across my computers/backup server at home. I don’t even know what I’d use instead
Check out the fork on fdroid
I know there’s a fork. I’m hoping it picks up devs from where its at. It works beautifully.
