Email capture

Parrot captures all emails sent to any email address via postfix and redirects them to the vagrant user's mailbox for easy reading.

Essentially if your PHP application sends an email, it'll get redirected and captured for you to read.

Accessing

You can use any IMAP email client to access the redirected emails with the following details from the host:

• server: localhost
• port: 1143
• user: vagrant
• password: vagrant
• authentication type: plaintext password

Tested clients

The setup has been tested with the following clients:

• OSX Mail
  • Untick 'Automatically manage connection settings' to be able to set port correctly.
  • Under Advanced IMAP settings, tick 'Allow insecure authentication'.
  • No outgoing SMTP server needed.
• Mozilla Thunderbird
• Postbox 3

Please ensure you already have those clients set up for use before using with Parrot's email capture.
