Expunge Both$ mbsync will prompt you to enter your mailbox’s password with this configuration.
Once you have all your emails locally, you can use Notmuch to search through, and Mutt to display the results. Feel free to contact me if you have questions on how to set this up (https://yctct.com/contact).
Note: you need to setup Proton’s Bridge first.

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.

I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
