Show HN: Magpie – my self-hosted replacement for Google/Yahoo email aggregation (opens in new tab)

I built Magpie, a self-hosted email aggregator that pulls multiple IMAP/SMTP accounts into a single inbox.

I started it because Google is dropping support for pulling emails from my Yahoo accounts (Gmailify), and I wanted a private, self-hosted solution.

Key points: * Unified inbox with search and threading * Lightweight backend + modern web UI * Easy to deploy (Docker or manual) * Privacy-first, fully open source

This is the baseline release and it’s meant to be simple, functional, and easy to extend. I’d love feedback, bug reports, and contributions from anyone interested in email tooling or self-hosted software.

Nice work! This is a great solution for something fully private and self-hosted. I'm building something in this space too (hosted, not self-hosted) and it's encouraging to see a clean open-source option for people who want full control.

For anyone reading who wants this but doesn't want to manage Docker/infrastructure: I'm working on a hosted alternative at https://mailbridge.app. Different tradeoff: you're trusting a third party with read-only credentials instead of running your own server. For those with the chops (or who want to learn the technical side a bit more), Magpie is probably the better fit.

Question for OP: are you handling deduplication for POP3 accounts that don't support UIDL? That's been the trickiest part for me so far.
