 Is there any service (maybe self-hosted open source?) that you can point at a stupidly large and messy IMAP account and get it to sort out all the email so that you can tidy up the cruft? #email #emailManagement #foss #selfHosted 
 @f68a96d2 how about using Thunderbird? I was doing the same for my sister's IMAP mail account using Thunderbird and it was an 8 GB email if I am not wrong. It works fairly well and I bet the new version will work well too. 
 sounds like just an **email client** to me 
 I used to be running Mailpile it was pretty good https://www.mailpile.is/

> The core of Mailpile is a fast search engine, custom written to deal with large volumes of e-mail on consumer hardware. The search engine allows e-mail to be organized using tags (similar to GMail's labels) and the application can be configured to automatically tag incoming mail either based on static rules or bayesian classifiers.
