Summary
Bichon is an open-source, Rust-based email archiving system that synchronizes emails from IMAP servers, indexes them for full-text search, and provides a REST API and WebUI for programmatic access and searching. Unlike traditional email clients, it focuses solely on archiving and searching rather than sending or receiving emails. It runs as a standalone server with no external dependencies, continuously syncing configured email accounts into a searchable local archive.
