My holy grail solution for this (mostly driven by calendaring) is that I'd
really like a local IMAP server on top of my ~/Mail/inbox. That would be my
ideal.
(While I have a variety of IMAP capable sources, and I point my phone at some
of them, I don't keep email on the server)
I keep thinking I'll ffi wrap our libnmh library for use in GO or Rust, as
there are a few nice IMAP servers written in these modern languages, but I
doubt I'll ever get this. My ability to get into code writing focus has
rapidly declined, and I'm really frustrated by this.

packf to produce an MBOX, and then let Thunderbird see that as your inbox for
local Unix "movemail", but I don't really have that automated.
