Local mail account #2794

Open simonyoti opened 8 years ago

Can we have an option to add a local unix mailspool account or similar?

emorikawa commented 8 years ago

@simonyoti We unfortunately do not have any immediate plans to support local Unix mailspool accounts. That being said both N1 and the sync-engine are open source and pull requests are definitely welcome!

What about a dovecot mailserver running on localhost or a local maildir storage?

kevinmartin commented 7 years ago

Servers need to be accessible from the internet since N1 api servers are the ones accessing the email servers.

On the other hand you can install the open source version of the Nylas api server on said machine and point it to localhost. Then configure N1 to point to the local api server. You'd miss all of the "paid" N1 features though.

Pity. Then Nylas seems to be useless for most regular businesses, because inboxes grow full fast and archiving is usually done on local/inhouse mail servers, which can be accessed from outside via vpn.
