Upgrade to Debian 11 Bullseye broke Mailpile about mailpile HOT 3 CLOSED

An alternate option might be to just run Mailpile from a Docker container, which requires a lot less messing around with your system installation. I've got a GitHub repo that automatically builds Docker images of both release versions (as and when they come out) and nightly builds of Mailpile's master branch whenever changes have been made.

My image is available at https://hub.docker.com/r/florianpiesche/mailpile/ and is my personal daily driver for email, and can be used in single-user mode by running

docker run -d \
  -v $HOME/.local/share/Mailpile:/home/mailpile/.local/share/Mailpile \
  -p 8080:33411 \
  florianpiesche/mailpile

This will make Mailpile accessible on your local machine at http://localhost:8080/, and store data in your home directory on the host for persistence.

Thanks for the suggestion and the link. I've seen a lot of references to Docker in discussions of Mailpile. l've never used Docker myself, so for me there would be some learning required, but for some people this sounds like a good solution.

To facilitate running Mailpile v1 on modern distros, I've put together and published and documented "official" Mailpile docker images. See: https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile-v1-Docker

Thanks everyone for helping out here!
