Incorporate Mail in Nextcloud

[capitancurt]

My experience is that jailbreaking the admin doesn't help. All available mail apps in Nextcloud refuse to connect or are rejected by the imap server (and presumably smtp as well).

Would it be possible to incorporate one of the mail apps in the standard distro (preferably the default mail app), so that users have only to log into the nextcloud panel to have full functionality?

Hmmmmm... I get where you're coming from; however I'm not exactly sure how to feel about piling more stuff on to the Nextcloud installation at this point in time.

Okay, I can see how you may want to avoid that. Could be a little than you want to deal with.

For those of us who need it, and aren't going to run too many or too large a box, here is my solution....

--==INITIALIZE ADMIN USER PROFILE==--
browse to http://[lanip]/cloud
Log out

--==CREATE ADMIN.SH==--
#sudo nano admin.sh

--==PASTE INTO ADMIN.SH==--

#!/bin/bash
#This script will give you administrative access to the Nextcloud
#instance running here.
#Run this at your own risk. This is for testing & experimentation
#purpopses only. After this point you are on your own.

source /etc/mailinabox.conf # load global vars

ADMIN=$(management/cli.py user admins | head -n 1)
test -z "$1" || ADMIN=$1

echo I am going to unlock admin features for $ADMIN.
echo You can provide another user to unlock as the first argument of this script.
echo
echo WARNING: you could break mail-in-a-box when fiddling around with Nextcloud's admin interface

echo Press enter to continue.
