Overview

Gmail is notoriously hostile to high-volume technical mailing list traffic. It will routinely throttle incoming messages, mark them as spam, or just drop them outright based on some unknown internal heuristic. Gmail’s throttling is responsible for hundreds of thousands of messages sitting in the kernel.org mail queue just waiting to be delivered.

Korgalore can feed public-inbox archives and lei search results directly into your mail system of choice, bypassing most of Gmail’s hostile anti-features when used with Gmail targets.

About the Name

It’s a play on “k.org lore” and “Orgalorg,” who is a primordial cosmic entity in the Adventure Time universe – the “breaker of worlds,” which is basically what Gmail is to mailing lists.
