+Besides being useful knowledge on its own, I may make a second attempt
at self-hosting my email less daunting. I don't know if I am ever going

+## Update (November 2025)
+
+After happily using this system for more than 3 years, I have now
+switched to a more standard IMAP setup, where incoming mail is synced
+with my mailbox.org server using [isync](https://isync.sourceforge.io/).
+I did this for a few of reasons:
+
+* I am not that interested anymore in most of the mailing lists I
+ had signed up for, so a simpler folder structure now works for me.
+ I am not filtering my mail into separate folders automatically.
+* I did not want to rely too much on my ad-hoc server setup for my email.
+* I am less scared of IMAP now.
