# Mail Server Setup
|

|

## Quick Start
|
||||
## Gmail Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Enable 2-Step Verification
|
||||
|
||||
App Passwords require 2-Step Verification to be enabled on your Google account.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security
|
||||
2. Under "How you sign in to Google", click **2-Step Verification**
|
||||
3. Follow the prompts to enable it
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Create an App Password
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
|
||||
2. Enter a name (e.g. "Mail TUI") and click **Create**
|
||||
3. Google will display a 16-character password — copy it
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Update config.toml
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[imap]
|
||||
host = "imap.gmail.com"
|
||||
port = 993
|
||||
username = "you@gmail.com"
|
||||
password = "xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx"
|
||||
use_tls = true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the password with the app password from step 2 (spaces are optional).
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** Do not commit `config.toml` — it is listed in `.gitignore`.

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- Check logs: `docker-compose logs mailserver`
|
||||
- Gmail: if login fails, verify that 2-Step Verification is enabled and you're using an App Password (not your regular password)
|
||||
- Docker: check logs with `docker-compose logs mailserver`
|
||||
- Ensure ports aren't already in use
|
||||
- Data persists in `./docker-data/` directory
