Nextcloud Mail Developer Documentation

Developer setup info

Just clone this repo into your apps directory (Nextcloud server installation needed). Additionally, npm to fetch Node.js is needed for installing JavaScript dependencies.

Once npm and Node.js are installed, PHP and JavaScript dependencies can be installed by running:

make install-composer-deps
make optimize-js

Nightly builds

Instead of setting everything up manually, you can just download the nightly builds instead. These builds are updated every 24 hours, and are pre-configured with all the needed dependencies.

1. Download
2. Extract the tar archive to 'path-to-nextcloud/apps'
3. Navigate to »Apps«, choose the category »Productivity«, find the Mail app and enable it.

The nightly builds are provided by Portknox.net

Resetting the app

Connect to your database and run the following commands (oc_ is the default table prefix):

DELETE FROM oc_appconfig WHERE appid = 'mail';
DROP TABLE oc_mail_accounts;
DROP TABLE oc_mail_aliases;
DROP TABLE oc_mail_collected_addresses;
DROP TABLE oc_mail_attachments;
