Self-hosted email archiving, search and export for individuals and teams

GPL-3.0 self-hosted Web

Mail Archiver archives email from multiple accounts on a schedule, then lets users search with filters, preview messages and attachments, and export accounts or selected messages as mbox or zipped EML. It can restore individual emails or full mailboxes and copy messages between mailboxes while preserving folder structure. Supported sources include IMAP, Microsoft 365 through Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Personal accounts through OAuth2 Device Code Flow, and import-only accounts. It also imports MBox and EML ZIP files, supports configurable server and local retention, and can retain original messages for analysis and forensics.

The interface supports 14 languages, dark mode, multiple users, account-specific permissions, dashboard statistics, and storage monitoring. OIDC authentication, encrypted account credentials, activity logs, scoped API keys, and a read-only REST API cover access and administration. A read-only MCP server exposes archive tools to AI agents.

The materials do not explicitly define a target audience, although they describe individual and team use in the supplied value line and include multi-user administration. They also do not name a paid product or competitor, so there is no supported claim that it replaces a specific commercial service. No evidence is provided for comparative shortcomings against a paid alternative; only the stated product capabilities can be described.
