I’m planning to migrate my email to a different provider, but they don’t give much storage, so I was wondering what people would recommend for this kind of setup: basically I’d like to use the new provider as something like a relay. I’d want them to only store an email or two at a time and have some kind of self hosted solution that just grabs the emails from the provider and stores them after deleting them off the provider so it’s never storing my entire email history, and also keeps my sent emails somewhere so that I have a copy of it. Ideally I’d wanna be able to set this up with a mail client like NextCloud’s.

    Wow thanks for the very detailed info! I’ll look into all of these. I read your post about the NC webmail and yeah I might just go for RoundCube lol. I’ve had performance issues with the file part of NC but it just works better for me than other solutions so I figured I may as well just tack it on but seems I’ll have more performance/resource concerns if I do.

      You’re welcome. Well Syncthing is great, setup is easy and it does get the job done. My favorite way of running it is having a central “server” (like your NAS or so) and have all devices connecting to it instead BUT not to each other. This way your NAS acts like a single source of truth for the files and conflicts are close to none. Another advantage of running it like that is that you can plug other things into the file storage like WebDav, SMB or Filebrowser in order to support accessing files from any browser and iOS devices.
