I exported ALL my emails from my Gmail account. It's over 2 GB of stuff, i've had the account for probably 20 years? This move is one step towards closing it, at some point. I will delete all the exported emails now.
Anyway. The archive was delivered in a .mbox file and I'm wondering if the fediverse knows of a tool, software or anything (preferably run locally) to browse my archive on my laptop (it' got Mint).
Boosts very welcome, thank you! ❤️🔥
[EDIT] Thank you everyone! It appears the most obvious piece of software is also the right now: my complete archive is now orderly browsable with Thunderbird. One more step towards freeeedomm! 🧚

Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.

All'udienza del processo K.G.M. v. Meta et al., nel quale Meta e Google sono accusate di aver progettato le piattaforme con il preciso intento di creare dipendenza, e di aver adottato strategie per aumentare il coinvolgimento di adolescenti e pre-adolescenti, Zuckerberg si è presentato prontissimo a non dire nulla e a far finta di non sapere nulla.
