<p dir="auto">Seems like an IMAP Server locally run could defray the entire expense of personal email servers. For business where it’s likely necessary on a company/private server that wouldn’t be an option.</p>
<p dir="auto">For me, iCloud accounts are included with other services so there’s no financial incentive. My message counts/sizes are entirely within the scope other storage plan. However I do manage the storage of archival data by year and keep two years only current and previous years data on line per account.</p>

<p dir="auto">The secure way would be to run a real IMAP server on your machine, to which MailMate can connect locally. I haven’t tried myself, but running <a href="https://www.dovecot.org/">Dovecot</a> in a container should work.</p>

<p dir="auto">I have done this for many years. If you are comfortable with running your own services it works really well.</p>
<p dir="auto">Here is an old, but updated, post on how to set it up on macOS. I'm running this setup on macOS Monterey 12.2 at the moment.</p>

<p dir="auto">A simpler approach might be to buy a copy of MailServe. <a href="https://cutedgesystems.com">https://cutedgesystems.com</a></p>
