Exploring personal history through a 1998–2026 email archive
A user says they recovered inbox files and Google Takeout exports from backups to assemble a mail viewer with almost no gaps—and can ask it questions about their life.
TLDR
A user describes a mail viewer covering 1998–2026, assembled from backed-up inbox files and Google Takeout exports with almost no gaps. They say exploring the archive helped them revisit friendships they'd lost track of: rather than ending in fights, things had mostly just faded as people went their own ways. They also suggest asking it to find patterns in life and work.
