# Development Setup

This document describes how to set up a development environment for the Email Organizer application.

## Prerequisites

- Docker and Docker Compose
- Python 3.10+

## Services

The development environment consists of two services:

1. **PostgreSQL Database**: A non-persistent PostgreSQL instance for development
2. **IMAP Server**: A fake IMAP server with predefined users and folders

## Setup Commands

To set up the development environment, run:

```bash
flask setup-dev
```

This command will:
1. Create necessary directories
2. Start PostgreSQL and IMAP services via Docker Compose
3. Display connection information

## Service Details

### PostgreSQL

- Host: localhost
- Port: 5432
- Database: email_organizer_dev
- User: postgres
- Password: password

### IMAP Server

- Host: localhost
- Port: 1143
- Users:
  - user1@example.com / password1
  - user2@example.com / password2
- Folders:

## Environment Configuration

After running `flask setup-dev`, copy the example environment file:

The default configuration should work with the development services. You can modify the `.env` file if needed.
