Self-hosted webmail client greatly inspired by Google Inbox
Pinbox
Pinbox is a self-hosted webmail client greatly inspired by Google Inbox.
Warning: Pinbox is in early stages of development and lacks most functionality expected in a webmail client -- Contributions welcome :-)
Prerequisites
- Docker and
docker-compose - notmuch (https://notmuchmail.org/)
Getting started
Hosting your email
Pinbox requires local access to a Maildir directory. A mailbox can be synchronized to a local Maildir using OfflineIMAP or similar. If you wish to try Pinbox with an exported mailbox and have a .mbox file, this file can be converted to a Maildir directory using mb2md.
Before starting Pinbox
Pinbox uses the Notmuch mail indexer to provide fast email access and managing mailbox labels.
Before Pinbox is able to read your Maildir directory notmuch needs to be installed on your system. Run notmuch setup && notmuch new <MAILDIR DIRECTORY> to initialise the notmuch database ready for Pinbox.
Starting Pinbox
Pinbox consists of a single page app to provide the web interface and a server component for handling access to your email.
- Edit
docker-compose.ymlto insert the full path of yourmaildirdirectory - Start all services using:
docker-compose up -d - Navigate to
