Tried it now with my complete email history and it handles everything amazingly.

Would love to see it indexing the Archive email folder as well :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I wrote a small patch to do this myself locally (only specifically for Proton Mail, I’m unsure which other identifying names the Archive/AllMail folders can have), but this is something that could be a toggle in the app maybe.

That’s great to hear, thanks! And I like the idea of including archive/extra folders. You’re right that it probably deserve a setting, probably with a configurable list of folder names to include. Want to submit a PR (or issue) for it? Otherwise, will create something later this week.

I was trying to run the Appimage but it fails with:

dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

AppImages require FUSE to run. 
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. 
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
for more information

I think there is a newer version of Appimages which don’t require libfuse2, which is not installed by most distributions anymore.

edit: the bug has been fixed

Thanks for reporting! I made some changes to the Linux builds. Would be great if you’re able to test (apparently I have libfuse2 installed myself). Will DM!

Paperweight v0.4 is now live :moai:

:warning: Before you upgrade

Due to new folder sync, IMAP and Microsoft require a full re-sync on first launch after upgrading. That clears existing message data only. Companies, whitelist, license, and past actions (unsubscribe, trash, etc.) are all kept, but expect a longer sync than usual.

Gmail accounts are unaffected.

Changes

  • Free tier scan increased from 30 to 90 days so the free version feels like a more solid product.
  • Full-mailbox scanning instead of inbox-only.
  • More flexible GDPR requests with a custom recipient field and no-reply filtering.
  • More reliable sync, with stable message IDs.
  • Light mode, configurable in settings.

Latest release: Release v0.4.0 · wslyvh/paperweight · GitHub

Also expanded the free resources on the site incl. new guides, breaches and improved navigation.

Feedback welcome! Thanks.
