Store messages

Access messages

Currently there is neither a UI or any API included with Airmail to access the messages in the store. You need to take care yourself.

After a message has been sent successfully, it can be additionally stored. Airmail uses MongoDB (opens new window) as storage backend.

To enable message storage set the environment variable AM_USE_STORAGE to true and configure the connection to the MongoDB database.

Environment variable	Default value	Description
AM_USE_STORAGE	false	Store your messages after sending it
AM_STORAGE_TYPE	mongodb	Only mongodb is currently supported
AM_MONGODB_HOST	localhost	MongoDB host
AM_MONGODB_PORT	27017	MongoDB port
AM_MONGODB_DB	airmail	MongoDB database
AM_MONGODB_COLLECTION	messages	MongoDB collection
AM_MONGODB_USERNAME	none	Username for MongoDB authentication
AM_MONGODB_PASSWORD	none	Password for MongoDB authentication

The messages is going to be stored only, if the sending was successful. If an error occured, f. ex. the captcha could not be succesfully verified, neither the sending nor the storage is going to happen.
