Bichon is a minimal, high-performance, standalone Rust email archiver with a built-in WebUI.
|
Bichon is an open-source email archiving system that **synchronizes emails from IMAP servers**, **indexes them for full-text search**, and provides a **REST API** for programmatic access.
|
||||||
Its name is inspired by the puppy my daughter adopted last month.
|
**Unlike email clients**, Bichon is designed for **archiving and searching** rather than sending/receiving emails. It runs as a **standalone server application** that continuously synchronizes configured email accounts and maintains a **searchable local archive**.
|
||||||
It runs as a single binary, requires no external dependencies, and provides fast, efficient email archiving, management, and search.
|
Built in Rust, it requires no external dependencies and provides fast, efficient email archiving, management, and search through a built-in WebUI. Its name is inspired by the puppy my daughter adopted last month.
