December 9, 20241 yr Hi, I need advice regarding my small business email management. My mail box is now getting full. I use IMAP for all the accounts, since It simpler and also I don't need to stress about loosing all my old mail due to a computer or server failure. It is super convenient as all my mail are available from any device I use. As I said my mailbox is getting full now and buying more space from my mail server is prohibitive (150$/year for 5 Gig). Do you have suggestions on how to archive all my mail, so that they could be access just like on the mail server of my mail provider. I tough about using POP and store everything on my Unraid server. And in Thunderbird map the local folder on the Unraid server. I also have a Docker running Thunderbird to forward messages from different users, if you can think it could be part of the solution... Thank's J-P

I've done this before in the past with a mediacom email to google email and medaicom email is now long gone and dead but I still have all my old emails from that account. Otherwise spin up a smtp email server. and similarly setup forwarding to move them from one system to the next. as emails usually exist as text message. I think this is what your asking in terms of getting a backup downloaded and added to the server: Otherwise setup a mail server:
