So all of these apps like gmail, outlook, etc. let me login to all of my websites different emails but none of them seem to sync across devices. Is there an app that lets me login to all my inboxes once and then sync that logininfo across pc, iphone, and android?
Right now I have to manually add all the email accounts in to each device, none of the mobile apps sync to their pc counterparts.
I sync my emails using a Dovecot IMAP server on my home server. I fetch emails from all my accounts with fetchmail and sort them into the right folders using Sieve. They get indexed and are searchable (ultra fast!).
225000 emails in 13 GB (ZFS; uncompressed 18 GB).
Ive been looking for something like this. Please elaborate 🙂
Thunderbird (sort of), you can add all your accounts on the PC version, and then it’ll give a QR code to copy those accounts to the mobile app. But there’s not a continuous sync happening.
The Thunderbird desktop app for Linux has a “Export to Mobile” feature. It generates a QR code that you can scan on your phone to, I guess (I haven’t tried it), transfer the login info of your email accounts from desktop to phone. After that, IMAP should take care of syncing the emails from the server to each device.
No iphone app yet, at least its planned, guess ill use gmail on my phone and do it manually for now, thunderbird for my pc and tablet. Odd that none of these apps let you sync all your email logins across platforms. Maybe they want you to get all your mail through just them and this would make competition easier.
The Windows version has it as well
Piggybacking on this, is there an app that will easily download your emails from Gmail and MS for backup purposes? Something like a pop3 frontend that will archive with folders and tags.

Downloads email from most providers, allows for local (text) searches, and to upload it again to an imap provider.https://www.offlineimap.org/ should do the trick
