↳ In-reply-to » @lyse FWIW, I’ve been using Martin Lambers’ mpop/msmtp for ages now without issues: https://marlam.de/

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, my workflow looks like this:

• My public server receives mail.
  
• Either my desktop PC or my laptop fetches new mail (via mpop) into a maildir.
  
• That maildir gets synced to other machines via unison (I used Git for that purpose for 13 years, unison is a bit faster).
  

Sending mail works similarly:

• One of my machines sends mail (via msmtp) and stores it in the maildir.
  
• unison syncs that to other machines.
  

What I like about that is that I don’t have to keep the mail files on my server. If my server crashes (never happened so far), I can upload a new blank OpenBSD image and use config management to set it up. I actually don’t make backups of my mailserver/webserver. 😅

Regarding IMAP, well, I don’t actively dislike it (other than our server at work being very, very slow, but that’s probably not IMAP’s fault). It’s more that I don’t have a need for it. 🤔
