Where do I set username and password for the dovecot container for my web client to log into?

https://github.com/jon6fingrs/mbsync-dovecot/blob/main/README.md#dovecot the env vars for Dovecot for credentials are for my mail client connection?

Fixed my horrible issue title.

Fixed my horrible issue title.

The dovecot credentials are the credentials you are creating for the local imap server. Set them to whatever you want and use those from your local clients.

Thank you for clearing that up I wasn't certain if these credentials were just for the far server.

I was having trouble logging in with them in my testing. I'm sure I'm the point of failure here.

I've been trying to use RainLoop for accessing this Dovecot instance using this configuration essentially.

  webmail:
    image: hardware/rainloop
    restart: always
    deploy:
      replicas: 1
      labels:
        - "traefik.enable=true"
        - "traefik.http.routers.mbsync.tls=true"
        - "traefik.http.services.mbsync.loadbalancer.server.port=8888"
        - "traefik.http.routers.mbsync.rule=Host(`mbsync.example.com`)"
        - "traefik.http.routers.mbsync.entrypoints=websecure"
        - "traefik.http.routers.mbsync.tls.certresolver=letsencryptresolver"
        - "traefik.http.routers.mbsync.service=mbsync"
        - "traefik.docker.network=traefik"
    labels:
      - "traefik.backend=mbsync"
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.port=8888"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:mbsync.example.com"
      - "traefik.docker.network=traefik"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/tank/persist/example.com/mbsync/production/data:/rainloop/data
    networks:
      - traefik

However, it seems RainLoop refuses only to have IMAP configured is there a recommended client you suggest using for accessing the mbsync data?

Yea email_username, email_password, server_address are to specify your local imap server settings.

Mbsync is all remote imap server settings and dovecot is all local imap server settings for the server you’re creating.

I gotta refresh my memory with this ticket because I really want to bail on Google products entirely and this will definitely help.
