I have looked at paperless in the past and just asked why? I just spent a little time setting it up to see what it was about, then I spent hours configuring it and my email server creating paperless email addresses that other emails forward to! I cannot believe I have lived this long without it.
I haven’t looked into Paperless much, but what does your workflow look like exactly with regards to the emailing part?
I got an unlimitted email package from a host, before my journey into self hosting. I use a different email address for everything I sign up to or need to confirm I am human with. They all forward to 6 or 7 different emails I check I have just decided that those email addresses would forward to paperless email address to keep stuff sorted.
*edit I get next to no spam, if I do I either close the email or tell the company they have had a data leak and close the email.
I solved it for me by sorting by attachment off I’m thunder thunderbird Desktop once a week and then just drag and drop to the second account which gets consumed by paperless. It’s nice that imap can do that with drag and drop
I forward emails to my paperless address, and never thought of using drag/drop. How does this work for you? I remember having trouble getting paperless to see emails that were already read, or otherwise it would constantly try to reupload the same files. Do you watch a specific folder and then have paperless move to a different folder on consumption?
It’s a paperless exclusive email that importa everything that is in the inbox. But I guess it would also import from a specific folder. Unread or read doesn’t seem to make a difference
