Work uses O365 and I’m getting a little frustrated with OWA. Thinking about running a local email server to mirror O365. In the end, I want to keep my email in O365, but have a 2 way sync with a local imap server. Looks like I have a few options on the email server - dovecot/cyrus/stalwart. For the syncing, I just see mbsync. Any experience setting up something similar? Any other options other than what I listed?

Edit: IT knows what I’m doing. I’m not going to compromise any compliance requirements we have.

    Yup, its already setup. I’ve currently got mutt running with a davmail middle, but its slow. A long time ago, we just had IMAP enabled and I used mbsync for a while with a local mbox. But it slowly turned into a mess. Since then we’ve enabled 2FA on O365 and so far I’ve only gotten davmail to work.

      Yeah there’s not going to be any good option for you here except Outlook.

      What exactly are your frustrations?

        I’ve always used multiple email clients. Mutt or mu4e for organization and tasking. OWA for quick emails and the calendar. Since we’ve gone to 2FA, that all stopped until I found davmail. OWA search is really bad, compared to mu or not much anyway.

        I want a central server. I don’t want to do mbox again.
