# MVP (Minimum Viable Product) Plan
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
The MVP provides core functionality to replace Gmail's POP3 import feature with a self-hosted Docker solution.
|
||||

||||
- Email deduplication
|
||||
- Custom retry policies
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Reliability**: 99%+ uptime for email forwarding
|
||||
2. **Performance**: Process emails within 1 minute of receipt
|
||||
3. **Scalability**: Support at least 10 POP3 accounts
|
||||
4. **Usability**: Setup time under 10 minutes
|
||||
5. **Security**: No credentials stored in code or logs
|
||||
|
||||
## MVP Timeline
|
||||
|
||||
- **Phase 1 - Core Functionality** (Completed)
|
||||
- POP3 fetching
|
||||
- SMTP forwarding
|
||||
- Basic error handling
|
||||
|
||||
- **Phase 2 - Production Ready** (Completed)
|
||||
- Docker containerization
|
||||
- Error notifications
|
||||
- Throttling
|
||||
- Comprehensive logging
|
||||
|
||||
- **Phase 3 - Documentation** (Completed)
|
||||
- README
|
||||
- Configuration guide
|
||||
- MVP plan
|
||||
- Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (Post-MVP)
|
||||
|
||||
See [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) for planned enhancements and future features.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Single Destination**: Only one Gmail address supported
|
||||
2. **No Filtering**: All emails are forwarded without rules
|
||||
3. **No UI**: Command-line and file-based configuration only
|
||||
4. **Basic Throttling**: Simple time-based rate limiting
|
||||
5. **No Retry Logic**: Failed forwards are logged but not retried
|
||||
6. **No Deduplication**: Same email could be forwarded twice if fetched multiple times
|
||||
7. **Text Only**: HTML emails are converted to plain text
|
||||
|
||||
## Risk Mitigation
|
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation |
|
||||
|------|------------|
|
||||
| Gmail rate limits | Configurable throttling, max emails per run |
|
||||
| POP3 server downtime | Error notifications, automatic retry on next cycle |
|
||||
| Password exposure | Environment variables, .gitignore for .env |
|
||||
| Data loss | Delete only after successful forward |
|
||||
| Container crashes | Docker restart policy |
|
||||
| Configuration errors | Validation on startup |
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Functional Testing**
|
||||
- Send test email to POP3 account
|
||||
- Verify forwarding to Gmail
|
||||
- Check original metadata preservation
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Error Testing**
|
||||
- Test with invalid credentials
|
||||
- Test with unreachable POP3 server
|
||||
- Verify error notifications
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Load Testing**
|
||||
- Test with 50+ emails
|
||||
- Verify throttling works
|
||||
- Check memory usage
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Security Testing**
|
||||
- Verify SSL/TLS connections
|
||||
- Check for credential leaks in logs
|
||||
- Test with non-root user
|
||||
|
||||
## User Acceptance Criteria

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### POP3 Accounts
|
||||
|
||||
Add multiple POP3 accounts by incrementing the account number:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
POP3_ACCOUNT_1_HOST=pop.provider1.com
|
||||
POP3_ACCOUNT_1_USER=user1@provider1.com
|
||||
POP3_ACCOUNT_1_PASSWORD=password1
|
||||
|
||||
POP3_ACCOUNT_2_HOST=pop.provider2.com
|
||||
POP3_ACCOUNT_2_USER=user2@provider2.com
|
||||
POP3_ACCOUNT_2_PASSWORD=password2
|
||||
|
||||
# ... add more as needed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Gmail App Password
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to your Google Account: https://myaccount.google.com/
|
||||
2. Select Security
|
||||
3. Under "Signing in to Google," select App Passwords
|
||||
4. Generate a new app password for "Mail"
|
||||
5. Use this password in `SMTP_PASSWORD`
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|
||||
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `POP3_ACCOUNT_N_HOST` | Yes | - | POP3 server hostname |
|
||||
| `POP3_ACCOUNT_N_PORT` | No | 995 | POP3 server port |
|
||||
| `POP3_ACCOUNT_N_USER` | Yes | - | POP3 username |
|
||||
| `POP3_ACCOUNT_N_PASSWORD` | Yes | - | POP3 password |
|
||||
| `POP3_ACCOUNT_N_USE_SSL` | No | true | Use SSL/TLS |
|
||||
| `SMTP_HOST` | No | smtp.gmail.com | SMTP server |
|
||||
| `SMTP_PORT` | No | 587 | SMTP port |
|
||||
| `SMTP_USER` | Yes | - | SMTP username |
|
||||
| `SMTP_PASSWORD` | Yes | - | SMTP password (App Password) |
|
||||
| `SMTP_USE_TLS` | No | true | Use STARTTLS |
|
||||
| `GMAIL_DESTINATION` | Yes | - | Destination Gmail address |
|
||||
| `CHECK_INTERVAL_MINUTES` | No | 5 | How often to check for new mail |
|
||||
| `MAX_EMAILS_PER_RUN` | No | 50 | Max emails to process per account per run |
|
||||
| `THROTTLE_EMAILS_PER_MINUTE` | No | 10 | Rate limit for sending emails |
|
||||
| `POSTMARK_API_TOKEN` | No | - | Postmarkapp API token |
|
||||
| `POSTMARK_FROM_EMAIL` | No | - | Error notification sender |
|
||||
| `POSTMARK_TO_EMAIL` | No | - | Error notification recipient |
|
||||
| `LOG_LEVEL` | No | INFO | Logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR) |
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Polling**: The application checks configured POP3 mailboxes at regular intervals
|
||||
2. **Fetching**: Retrieves new emails from each POP3 account
|
||||
3. **Forwarding**: Sends emails to your Gmail account via SMTP with original metadata preserved
|
||||
4. **Cleanup**: Deletes emails from POP3 server after successful forwarding
|
||||
5. **Throttling**: Respects rate limits to avoid Gmail quota issues
|
||||
6. **Error Handling**: Sends notifications via Postmarkapp if issues occur
|
||||
|
||||
## Email Format
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarded emails include:
|
||||
- Original sender information in the subject line: `[Fwd from user@provider.com] Original Subject`
|
||||
- Header section with original From, Date, Subject, and source account
|
||||
- Original email body preserved
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring and Logs
|
||||
|
||||
### View logs
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose logs -f pop3-forwarder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check container status
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose ps
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Restart the service
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose restart
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Gmail Authentication Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: "Username and Password not accepted"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
- Ensure 2FA is enabled on your Google account
|
||||
- Generate an App Password (don't use your regular Gmail password)
|
||||
- Use the 16-character app password without spaces
|
||||
|
||||
### POP3 Connection Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: "Connection refused" or "SSL error"
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
- Verify POP3 server hostname and port
|
||||
- Check if POP3 is enabled in your email provider settings
|
||||
- Try with `POP3_ACCOUNT_N_USE_SSL=false` for non-SSL connections (port 110)
|
||||
|
||||
### No Emails Being Forwarded
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Container runs but no emails are forwarded
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
- Check if there are emails in your POP3 mailbox
|
||||
- Review logs for errors: `docker-compose logs -f`
|
||||
- Verify `GMAIL_DESTINATION` is correct
|
||||
- Check Gmail spam folder
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limiting
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: "Too many requests" or quota errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
- Increase `CHECK_INTERVAL_MINUTES`
|
||||
- Decrease `THROTTLE_EMAILS_PER_MINUTE`
|
||||
- Reduce `MAX_EMAILS_PER_RUN`
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Never commit `.env` file** - It contains sensitive credentials
|
||||
2. **Use App Passwords** - Don't use your main Gmail password
|
||||
3. **Rotate credentials regularly** - Update passwords periodically
|
||||
4. **Enable 2FA** - On all email accounts
|
||||
5. **Review logs** - Monitor for suspicious activity
|
||||
6. **Use SSL/TLS** - Keep `USE_SSL` and `USE_TLS` enabled
|
||||
7. **Limit network access** - Use firewall rules if needed
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Local Development (without Docker)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create virtual environment
|
||||
python3 -m venv venv
|
||||
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
|
||||
|
||||
# Install dependencies
|
||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy and configure .env
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
# Edit .env with your settings
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the application
|
||||
python pop3_forwarder.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Building the Docker Image
|
||||

||||
```bash
|
||||
docker build -t pop3-gmail-forwarder .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Running Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
