ABOUT
Bichon is an open-source email archiving system that synchronizes emails from IMAP servers, indexes them for full-text search, and provides a REST API for programmatic access. Unlike email clients, Bichon is designed for archiving and searching rather than sending/receiving emails. It runs as a standalone server application that continuously synchronizes configured email accounts and maintains a searchable local archive.
infoThe Disk space initially allocated by the script is only a placeholder, as we can't know how much space you will ever need. You should increase it to match your workload.
warningPlease copy your `BICHON_ENCRYPT_PASSWORD` from `/opt/bichon/bichon.env` to a safe place.
