paperless-ngx e-mail inbox support

[timka]

Ok, I've overlooked some information, but I'm still missing something:
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/10592/how-to-access-default-per-app-outboxes/4

Well, here in the documentation, https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#email, is the chapter on this.
It also says that the password and username are created dynamically.

How can I access this information? Within paperless I don't know how to "query" it.
Thank you very much!

I believe it’s like this: When you create the inbox for the App, you need to assign it to an existent user. This user receives all mail addressed to the newly created inbox in her/his „standard“ inbox.

@necrevistonnezr said in paperless-ngx e-mail inbox support:

inbox for the App, you need to assign it to an existent user.

If you mean that I can create mailboxes that have shared imap access, I get that. But when creating a mailbox for an application (which doesn't work for most applications, I just see my paperless instance as an available "owner" of the mailbox. I don't think and in my understanding shouldn't be able to access this via a user login. Or am I doing something wrong?

I think this was an oversight that imap settings are not configured.

I cannot figure where imap is configured in paperless though. @timka do you know?

I also noticed sendmail configuration is not done in the package. Fixing that now.

OK, I see now , you can add one or more mailboxes in Mail section . I think since paperless support many mail sources, it's best to remove the recvmail addon from the app. The recvmail addon is more designed to pre-configure a specific cloudron mailbox for use in an app. But paperless is more like freescout where you can receive from various mailboxes.

I added an external mailbox, works fine

@timka so the usage is to just create a mailbox on Cloudron. Set an owner. It was a mistake that paperless appears in the list as owner. This will go away with next package release. Then, just use the owner's password to configure the mailbox in paperless.

Thank you for clarification, makes sense. I'll do this and sry for the late answer

I must be doing something wrong. I created the inbox on Cloudron, and when I try to configure int on Paperless-ngx it fails to connect to the server:

Wrong port. Use 993 instead
