i have a few mbox files that i’d like to be able to search from any device - but not to send or receive email. is there a go-to lightweight self-hosted service for this?

thank you!

    I’d either try loading them into elastic search as a document per email… alternatively, something like mairix or even Thunderbird should do it

    I am also interested in this, my workaround is loading the emails via imap on gmail but i don’t really like it

    I ended up with installing a dovecot IMAP server that i can connect to from any email client. but no smtp to send emails

    Then you connect to the imap server from the email client and search that way
