Incoming Email

There is no IMAP related code that I can spot either - https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aloomio%2Floomio+IMAP&type=code

@girish looking in the loomio-deploy github, I think the container for inbound email is loomio-mailin. Seems like they're using mailin vs an external IMAP connection

@darren thanks. mailin seems quite outdated (7 years ago). Looks like they tried to replace it upstream as well - https://github.com/loomio/loomio-deploy/issues/99 .

OK, https://github.com/loomio/mailin-docker/blob/master/Dockerfile is the Dockerfile. mailin listens on port 25 and calls a webhook. Listening on port 25 won't work on Cloudron, so that solution is unviable. We have to write a standalone script that scans IMAP mailbox and calls the wekhook. mailin code that calls the webhook is at https://github.com/loomio/mailin/blob/master/lib/mailin.js .

Did you ever get around to doing this?

I just installed Loomio and immediately tried to start a thread by email and was sad that it didn't Just Work as I've become accustomed to expect on Cloudron

@jdaviescoates don't think so , no. Unless there is simpler setup, this is really hard to automate in Cloudron.

@girish that's a shame.

Being able to start and reply to threads by email is a core features of Loomio.

Without that we don't really have Loomio at all.

Looks like they did it already in Oct '24
https://github.com/loomio/haraka-rails-docker

This should work
