How can I connect an email client to the mail server?

[Ventajou]

Hi,

I've successfully set up Only Office on Docker. The email server is working fine, I can send and receive emails, no problems. Now I'd like to connect Outlook to my Only Office mailbox but I don't see any documentation on that. Is that not supported? I can't figure out what the user name should be...

Hello Ventajou!
Unfortunately OO Mail Server doesn't support email clients for now.

Hi,

This is a terrible message! Honestly, the mail server seemed for me like way to get out of my personal postfix-dovecot-spamassassin-dkim-maintenance hell. But if I can't connect from my mobile phone, this wonderful piece of software is quite useless for me.

Are there any plans to enable that (I am wondering where the problem is, as the mailserver uses standard tools - even dovecot - that would allow an imap connection from any client easily)!

bye
Marcus.

Hi,

Are there any plans to enable this in a future version? Without the ability to access my mails from my mobile devices (smartphone, tablet), a mailserver is quite useless for me.
