This is a great "get to know ES" project use case for elasticsearch! Frees you a bit from having to use Google search while also teaching you how to use queries / aggregations. Awesome work. Will give this a shot later.<p>Thanks for putting this together.
Worth noting that if you like the idea of indexing your mail, there's also Notmuch. It's a dedicated email search and indexing tool and is very nice when paired with something like OfflineIMAP to sync messages.<p><a href="https://notmuchmail.org" rel="nofollow">https://notmuchmail.org</a>

What is that <a href="http://ohardt.us/download-gmail-mailbox" rel="nofollow">http://ohardt.us/download-gmail-mailbox</a> URL where you're supposed to download your email ? Looks fishy, though the hostname doesn't even resolve so not sure what's going on.
