<![CDATA[paperless-ngx e-mail inbox support]]>Hi there! I came across the option to use an email endpoint as a document source for Paperless, and I'm excited to give it a try.
I noticed that when I create a mailbox in Cloudron, I can select Paperless as the owner, which is also mentioned in the help section.
However, I'm not sure what the password or access token is for this mailbox.
Could you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much!

I created the inbox on Cloudron, and when I try to configure int on Paperless-ngx it fails to connect to the server:

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.

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 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.

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?

This user receives all mail addressed to the newly created inbox in her/his „standard“ inbox.

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!
