Pollhammer Mail Archiv

🛠 Personal Fork & Private Mail Archive

This is a personal fork of Open Archiver, created for learning, experimentation, and hobby projects. It is also used as my private email archiving solution for my personal domain "pollhammer.org". The focus is on exploring new ideas, testing custom features, and adapting the platform to my individual needs.
