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
|
||
|
||
A detailed description of the configuration options can be found in the [online version of the manual page](http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-man.html).
|
||
|
||
## Example IMAP configuration
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
poll 'imap.example.com' proto imap
|
||
user 'username'
|
||
pass 'secret'
|
||
is 'user1@domain.tld'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Example POP3 configuration
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
poll 'pop3.example.com' proto pop3
|
||
user 'username'
|
||
pass 'secret'
|
||
is 'user2@domain.tld'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
__IMPORTANT__: Don’t forget the last line: e. g. `is 'user1@domain.tld'`. After `is` you have to specify one email address from the configuration file `config/postfix-accounts.cf`.
|
||
|
||
More details how to configure fetchmail can be found in the [fetchmail man page in the chapter “The run control file”](http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-man.html#31).
|
||
|
||
# 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. |
