Examples of how to use mbsync

[hartmark]

I got perfect timing for googling on how to archive mails so I can pay less for my email hosting :)

I'd love some example on how your mbsync script looks like.

Do you mean to set mbsync to automatically fetch mails?

Yes

Once you make the mbsync container, you need a cron job or something so that it'll autorun every X minutes (I have mine run every 5 minutes)

This is the one I was wondering about

Sure sorry. I added the example from my mbsync repo to this readme. Let me know if there are any issues.

Cool, I don't know if I have any time this weekend, but I'll report back if I have any problems

I've included my swarm stack example if anyone wants it with a restart set to once every hour.
