## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Fetchmail Issues
|
|
|
|
Fetchmail might not work properly with large amounts of data. For more information, refer to this [issue](https://github.com/Mailu/Mailu/issues/1719).
|
|
|
|
#### Deactivating Fetchmail
|
|
|
|
Before uninstalling Fetchmail, ensure to remove all fetched accounts from the administration panel.
|
|
|
|
#### Fetchmail Security Concerns
|
|
|
|
There are known security concerns with Fetchmail as stated in the [German Wikipedia](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetchmail). If you require Fetchmail functions in the future, consider creating a Docker container for [Getmail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getmail) as it is considered more secure.
|
|
|
|
#### Fetchmail Workaround
|
|
|
|
If you need to receive emails from another account, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Redirect your emails to your new email account.
|
|
2. Export all data from your original account.
|
|
3. Import all data to your new account.
|
|
|
|
### Data Deletion
|
|
|
|
To delete all volumes and data, execute the following command with caution:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm -vr /etc/mailu/; docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q | grep mailu_)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Port Management
|
|
|
|
Check for any port conflicts and manually change the conflicting ports if necessary. Use the following command to verify:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
netstat -tulpn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Admin Account Creation
|
|
|
|
To use Mailu, create the primary administrator user account, `admin@{{hostname}}`, using the command below. Replace `PASSWORD` with your preferred password:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose -p mailu exec admin flask mailu admin {{admin}} {{hostname}} PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CLI User Management
|
|
|
|
For managing users, follow the instructions in the official [Mailu CLI documentation](https://mailu.io/master/cli.html).
|
|
|
|
### Starting the Server
|
|
|
|
To start the server, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose -p mailu up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
### Database Access
|
|
|
|
To access the database, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose exec -it database mysql -u root -D mailu -p
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Container Access
|
|
|
|
To access the front container, use this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose exec -it front /bin/bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Restarting Services
|
|
|
|
To restart all services, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose restart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Resending Queued Mails
|
|
|
|
To resend queued mails, use this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose exec -it smtp postqueue -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
