My mail server is self-hosted. I think I would rather integrate Apache
solr with Dovecot than transferring mailboxes from the server onto my
laptop.
Thank you for your suggestion though.

Indeed you CAN use IMAP with gmail. For work, I mostly use my

I believe Gmail is using IMAP. The instructions for configuring Gmail
email accounts in Outlook specifically mention IMAP server hostname:
imap.gmail.com
TCP Port 993, SSL

For me, it is not because of Gmail spam filters. I confirm I had the
emails in my inbox previously, and then sometime later the emails were
deleted mysteriously. Not sure who deleted my emails. Definitely not
because of Gmail spam filters.

Recently, I discovered that some emails in one of my Gmail email
accounts were missing. Not sure if Gmail/Google had deleted my email
messages.

It is not true that no email system was ever designed for 200,000 or
more emails.
If I did not remember wrongly, more than 10 years ago, I used to have
a Gmail email account, with 4-5 MILLION email messages in the Inbox.
There was no problem searching even though I had 4-5 MILLION email
messages

no system will support 200,000 + emails, even if the server can handle that
and running imap where you only download the headers the email
this is not the answer you are looking for but comes from years and
years of experience with mail servers in general (cyrus first then dovecot)
First off imap clients can handle emails counts but vary on performance
1. outlook for example is completely useless above 1000 count per
folder/sub
22 matches
