OK, this is a project I can stand behind: download YOUR OWN data locally, query it in n different ways quickly, delete / sync up with Gmail, all from your TUI.

Would love to see something similar for Google Photos, and Apple Photos.

Neat idea but you could build this with a fraction of the complexity by ditching sqlite and duckdb for your native file system and rg/grep/gawk with equivalent performance

There’s also notmuch with various frontends which will let you index and search colossal mail accounts
