👋 Hi Product Hunt!
I’m Jörg, an indie developer from Germany and the creator of Mail Archive.
The idea came from a problem I faced myself. I wanted a simple way to archive important emails locally without relying on expensive cloud services, subscriptions, or enterprise software that felt far too complicated for small businesses and individuals.
Most solutions I found were either cloud-based, subscription-only, or designed for large organizations. So I decided to build my own.
Mail Archive connects to Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365 and IMAP accounts, downloads emails to your own computer, and makes everything searchable through fast full-text search.
Key principles behind the project:
• Your emails stay under your control
• Local-first storage
• No mandatory subscription
• Simple setup
• Available for Mac and Windows
What started as a personal tool is now being used by customers in several countries.
I’d love to hear your feedback, feature ideas, and answer any questions. Thanks for checking out Mail Archive! 🚀
