Email catch-all: Delete entries within control center

[fkaminski]

It would be nice if we could delete one or all e-mail entries directly from the control center (instead manually in the console/shell).

[fkaminski]

Maybe leave a hint in the documentation for manually deleting mails too;

bash shell.sh
cd ../../var/mail
ls -a
rm devilbox
exit

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Would still be a nice feature ...

Probably you didn't notice yet but Mailhog is able to delete one or all messages in a GUI.
Of course as the default storage is in-memory, we have to configure it to use maildir storage (see https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/blob/master/docs/CONFIG.md, the MH_STORAGE env variable).

Devilbox documentation about Mailhog is available at https://devilbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/custom-container/enable-mailhog.html

And here is what the current service become when we use maildir storage with devilbox backups/mailhog directory (for example).

# vim: set ft=yaml:
---
version: '2.3'

services:

  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # MailHog
  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  mailhog:
    image: mailhog/mailhog:${MAILHOG_SERVER:-latest}
    hostname: mailhog
    ports:
      - "${LOCAL_LISTEN_ADDR}${HOST_PORT_MAILHOG:-8025}:8025"
    environment:
      MH_STORAGE: "maildir"
      MH_MAILDIR_PATH: /tmp/mailhog
    networks:
      app_net:
        ipv4_address: 172.16.238.201
    depends_on:
      - bind
      - php
      - httpd
    volumes:
      - ./backups/mailhog:/tmp/mailhog      

Usage of Mailhog allow to bypass issue #798. Remember that native devilbox mail support use a solution around PEAR that is a bit outdated now !
