To add a new user to the test email server please follow these steps:

  1. Go to docker-mailserver/docker-compose.yml. Uncomment #- ./maildata_volume:/var/mail
    image
  2. Run the local email server via docker-mailserver/run_email_server.sh
  3. Run docker-mailserver/scripts/add_user.sh to add a new user. For example ./add_user.sh has_msgs_no_backups@flowcrypt.test
  4. Check docker-mailserver/config/postfix-accounts.cf. There should be a new account.
    image
  5. After that it would be nice to log in with created credentials to prepare the user's folders on the email server. I use Thunderbird for that.
    image
  6. Then run docker-mailserver/stop_email_server.sh to stop the email server.
  7. Go to docker-mailserver/docker-compose.yml. Comment - ./maildata_volume:/var/mail to disable storing data locally.
  8. Copy docker-mailserver/maildata_volume/flowcrypt.test to docker-mailserver/maildata_source/flowcrypt.test. maildata_source will be used to add changes to a docker image.
  9. After that need to update the docker image to apply changes.

It would be great to add it to Wiki
