I’m closing down and archiving an old Google Apps tenant and want to allow ~5 of the users to access their old emails, just a few GB each (and files and contacts, but that’s a separate problem).

I have a self-hosted setup (docker server, web-facing reverse proxies, authelia) which I can use. I’ve seen recommendations in this sub for running Dovecot as a store and Roundcube as a webmail front-end. Is this the best way?

I do need:

• To be able to import or natively read the Gmail All.Mail MBOX
• A webmail interface
• Multi-user support
  • auth via authelia (or authentik)
• Half-decent search ability
• The stack to run on Docker

I do not need:

• To be able to receive emails
• To be able to send emails
• To be able to connect any other client to the IMAP

Given the thing I don’t need, Dovecot seems overkill?
