About Bichon
Bichon
Email archiving server that syncs from IMAP accounts
Bichon is a self-hosted email archiving server, written in Rust. It downloads email from IMAP accounts, builds a full-text search index, and serves a REST API with an embedded web interface. It is designed for long-term preservation of email and for searching across several accounts at once, and it needs no external database. The README describes a demo video, notes on its purpose, and a quick start that recommends Docker or Docker Compose. Because it archives mail from IMAP accounts, it keeps a copy of the messages even if the mailbox changes, and the REST API lets you query the archive from other programs. It suits people and organisations that need to keep a searchable record of their email, and who want to host that record on their own server with a lightweight, fast tool.
