Tailscale completely negated and desire I’ve ever had to run any kind of proxy or VPN. The setup tool all of 30 seconds to make an account, and then like 15-20 seconds per client. I set it up once several months ago and I completely forgot about it…it’s just quietly working in the background, completely transparent to me.
Email. I want a local email server where I can move old emails off the internet for archiving.
But the number of components going into email servers made me stop… I already have caddy reverse proxy, but finding out how to use it for a email server… I didn’t even get properly started
I use thunderbird connected to my normal mail account and the dovecot server to transfer mail archives between both.
I used to backup my mail to the “Local folders” account in thunderbird; that also works. It’s more for the convenience of having “everything on the server” and having access to my mail archive from a laptop and a desktop. It’s also easier to backup and restore for me.
Proxy, Authentique (or what’s it called - Authentication on all stuff) and Dashy. In both cases it’s like: I want easy self hosted at home, I’m not at work. Tbh, I don’t even care for Passwords in my home net. If anyone is already inside my net, I either trust them or if not, things have gone wrong very much and that’s probably my last concern. I also don’t expose anything to the outside…Zero Tier ftw.

If you need it for this, and only this, the setup is actually very simple, you just need an IMAP server like dovecot https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/mail_dovecot
being extremely lazy, you can use Thunderbird

That sounds like what I want! Thanks! 🙏
I was thinking of using it for local email from other self-hosted services, but I am getting too old to set it up
