/docker-mailarchive

A local Dovecot IMAP server for mail archival

Primary LanguageShell

Provides an IMAP interface to a Dovecot mdbox volume.

Designed for running as a short-term, single-account IMAP server for importing email for archival and later searching via IMAP.

Original project from https://github.com/ilianaw/dockerfiles and modified by Thomas Wana in 2018:

  • Don't generate an SSL certificate and don't start SSL - not required for a local archive.
