Kudos on the project!
I've just got SimpleMailArchive stood up, and I'm enjoying it! Exactly what I needed, thanks! (Shame that it hasn't got more usage / recognition.)
To let you know, I've got it running in Kubernetes, fronted via a reverse proxy and auth. Works (mostly) great!
Few thoughts (I could make separate issues for these)
- I have 45,000 odd emails imported. I get slowness in a few places.
- On container start (long time before the app is accessible, a few minutes)
- On page load and certain interactions (appears to be pulling in a bunch of data client side?)
-
I had to fiddle a bit to keep my email password secure. (I use an initcontainer to dynamically generate / alter the account config.) Would be great if the password at least could be supplied via an environment variable?
-
It was not immediately obvious that things like the IMAP port and the connection security (STARTTLS vs SSL/TLS) is not configurable. I managed to get it working, but more flexibility in this area may make it more attractive to others.
Anyway, thanks again, this is a useful project that I appreciate you building. :)
