Volumes

If you want reconfigure DavMail with your own davmail.properties you can mount it as a volume.

  registry.gitlab.com/connectical/container/davmail

In the same way you can configure a volume to persistent store the logs.

docker run -d \

  -v /my/own/davmail/logdir:/var/log/davmail
  registry.gitlab.com/connectical/container/davmail

Take note that DavMail is running by davmail user (UID 100) inside container. You must set proper permissions in your external volume to allow to this user to write on it.
