@savity As an alternative, you can achieve pretty-much the same thing with EspoCRM, as that will import emails to give you the same duplicate data in an alternative place.
With full text search of mails and attachments? Can this be used for continuous backup?
@necrevistonnezr full text search of emails, yes. Attachment searching I don't think so but it could be possible as we're using this full-time for 100+ users, so there's some value in us developing anything that isn't there. Sure, just add connection details and it will keep importing emails regardless of if you login or not.

@marcusquinn does it import automaticly ? have to check it
@savity Yes, and it's already an Cloudron packaged and maintained app. I recommend it in many ways.
We also have Mailpiler packaged but not yet adopted by the Cloudron team, but have not pursued it further, since Espo is covering our needs.

Hello, I'm glad to see that there was an initial work adding piler to the app store.
I've got a request recently from a Cloudron user that he wanted to use piler archiving. Can you update me about the current status about this initiative? Whether it's still relevant, or you need some help from my side, etc. -
It works for us, just need adopting by Cloudron with tests and app store inclusion.

Hello, I'm the maintainer of the piler project. Since this topic is 2+ years old, I'm not sure, if there's an interest to have piler as a cloudron app. Anyway, the application is already dockerized, see https://bitbucket.org/jsuto/piler/src/master/docker/ for more.
Basically it's a 3 container setup having mysql, memcached and piler. I believe that it can be customized to run on cloudron.

I guess @staff would just need to give you access to https://git.cloudron.io/vladimir.d/mailpiler

@marcusquinn @vladimir-d I have missed this one. Shall I move this to cloudron namespace and publish as unstable?
-
@girish Sure, it's relatively simple and appears to work as intended. Testing from others would help.
@marcusquinn thanks, I can get this published. @vladimir-d can you please put a license?

@girish First of of all, a huge thank you to all participants. This is huge step for seriuos mail providing especially in germany.... but, maybe I don't see the obvious. As it is published... am I able to install it via the appstore? Or do I have to use the cli route mentioned in vladimirs readme?

@necrevistonnezr and @jsuto Thanks for this.
- Mailpiler and ordinary people
Mailpiler seems needed for corporations but I wonder how it might be useful to an ordinary person who self-hosts their email instead of using a proprietary service?
The archiving there would be just leaving mail on the server and/or downloading your mail too and keeping it locally with something like Thunderbird.
- Importing Dumps of Mail
Sometimes, people grow fedup with proprietary solutions for mail and want to migrate to a self-hosted solution. Services like e.g. Gmail allow you to dump your entire accounts email and save it offline. Is Mailpiler able to "one-click" import a dump like that, so we could search it easily offline?
Anyway, thanks for your help on logging in and being able to see how pretty the archived mail looks in Mailpiler. It was funny looking through the Broadcom wireless issues in the Fedora archive.
Why do they do it, really? Couldn't they just Free their drivers?! -

Additionally you have to find mechanisms to not archive personal information due to regulations of the GDPR/DSGVO. Very hairy therefore a solution like mailpiler was developedā¦
Mailpiler is a software to archive not to backup so a different usecase

Wow! That is pretty much George Orwell / 1984 / Police State legislation right there. Was there much objection when it was being discussed/introduced?

@LoudLemur
@m-si was not very precise: There's a requirement for businesses to archive business-related letters, emails etc. for a certain time (usually 5 years, up to 10 years) - for compliance, tax, and audit reasons.
