Webmail server with multiple mail accounts
Webmail server with multiple mail accounts
I like using thunderbird to have all my emails in the same place, in a unified inbox. This doesn't allow me to access my inbox on my phone etc though, so I'm looking for a FOSS way to solve this problem.
My idea would be to selfhost a website, like a webmail site, that has the functionality of connecting to different mail servers and unifying the inbox to get all my mail in the same place. Should be accessible by android phones and iPads.
Is there a better way to do this? Maybe with nextcloud? If anyone has an idea, let me know.

Hmm sounds like a Webmail client, like Roundcube. Luckily (at least from my point of view) it has no 'unified inbox', but you can have as many mail accounts you want, with one login, from different vendors. You can selhost it easily. I use it on a Raspberry Pi with one login and have then access to gmail, yahoo and some other accounts.
To mimic a 'unified inbox' you can forward all the different accounts, to one 'major' account, so that you receive every mail in this inbox. Than you can create a 'sending alias', to answer the incoming mails with the proper SMTP service. Nothing easier than that with Roundcube.
That sounds good too. Thinking about it, I dont necessarily need a unified inbox, it's just makes my life easier. Thank you.
https://roundcube.net/ is the main webside. You can download the complete *.tar.gz file from https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases. Screenshots are at https://roundcube.net/screens/
you could set up email accounts as forwarders to a single account. And on the email client add these accounts as aliases so you can reply with them. So you get a single unified view of emails as well as ability to reply with the one you want.
