How to Run

Using Docker Compose

1. Review the DavMail configuration examples and references.

2. Edit the docker-compose.yaml file to set your desired environment variables.

3. Start the service:

   docker-compose up -d

   To stop the service:

   docker-compose down

Note: The entrypoint script stores persistent configuration data in the davmail-config volume. If this volume is deleted, some configuration data may be lost. To disable persistence, set DISABLE_DAVMAIL_PROPERTIES_PERSISTENCE=true.

Using Docker Run

To run DavMail with Docker:

docker run -it --rm \
  -e DAVMAIL_SERVER=true \
  -p 1025:1025 \
  -p 1110:1110 \
  kran0/davmail-docker:latest

This command publishes ports 1025 (SMTP) and 1110 (POP) and uses a single environment variable. For more configuration options, refer to the examples in docker-compose.yaml and tests/compose-sut.yaml, as well as the official DavMail documentation.

Using a Text-Based Configuration File

To use a traditional text-based configuration file, mount it as a volume and pass it as a command:

docker run -it --rm \
  -v $PWD/conf/davmail.properties.example:/davmail/davmail.properties \
  -p 1025:1025 \
  -p 1110:1110 \
  kran0/davmail-docker:latest /davmail/davmail.properties
