2) I would like to remove all email storage from the cloud, that is,
whether Gmail or ProtonMail, once I have my mail on my local PC I want to
delete it from those accounts. What would be the best way to do this?
If you use a separate mail syncing program like fetchmail or mbsync or
whatever, you can tell it to delete emails on the server after
(successfully!) fetching them. Personally, I don't know that I would
recommend that, simply because you never know when you might actually
need access to your emails from e.g. your phone.
I use a comprimise here.
I pull everything from my c...@cskk.id.au inbox, deleting it. But my mail
filing forwards a suite of messages to a separate account which is for
my phone. So anything important sends a copy back out to the cloud.
Well, a personal external server. Um, in the cloud :-(
Likewise, any email I reply to sends the source message and the reply to
that account.
In this way my phone has access to a copy of the critical stuff and also
any ongoing email discussions.
So it seems you only concern yourself in keeping relatively current emails
accessible to your phone? You haven't had occasion to need something from a
while back to fetch on your phone that suddenly becomes needed?
