To enable the [fetchmail](http://www.fetchmail.info) service to retrieve e-mails set the environment variable `ENABLE_FETCHMAIL` to `1`. Your `docker-compose.yml` file should look like following snippet: ``` ... environment: - ENABLE_FETCHMAIL=1 ... ``` Generate a file called `fetchmail.cf` and place it in the `config` folder. Your dockermail folder should look like this example: ``` ├── config │   ├── dovecot.cf │   ├── fetchmail.cf │   ├── postfix-accounts.cf │   └── postfix-virtual.cf ├── docker-compose.yml └── README.md ``` # Configuration ## Example IMAP configuration ``` poll imap.example.com with proto IMAP user 'username' there with password 'secret' is 'user1@domain.tld' here ssl ``` ## Example POP3 configuration ``` poll pop3.example.com with proto POP3 user 'username' there with password 'secret' is 'user2@domain.tld' here options keep ssl ``` More details how to configure fetchmail can be found in the [fetchmail man page](http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-man.html). # Debugging To debug your `fetchmail.cf` configuration run this command: ``` docker run --rm \ -v "$(pwd)/config:/tmp/docker-mailserver" \ -ti tvial/docker-mailserver:latest \ sh -c "cat /etc/fetchmailrc_general /tmp/docker-mailserver/fetchmail.cf > /etc/fetchmailrc; /etc/init.d/fetchmail debug-run" ``` By default the fetchmail service searches very 5 minutes for new mails on your external mail accounts.
