✅ RESTful API (7 endpoints)
✅ Docker Elasticsearch setup
✅ 10 documentation files
✅ Automated setup scripts
📋 WHAT YOU NEED TO DO (15 minutes)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 1: Get Gmail App Passwords (5 min) │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ For EACH of your 2 Gmail accounts: │
│ │
│ 1. Visit: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords │
│ 2. Enable 2-Step Verification (if needed) │
│ 3. Create app password: │
│ → Choose "Mail" │
│ → Choose "Other" (Custom name) │
│ → Name it: "ReachInBox" │
│ 4. Copy the 16-character password │
│ (Example: abcd efgh ijkl mnop → abcdefghijklmnop) │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 2: Fill in .env File (2 min) │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ Open: backend/.env │
│ │
│ Fill in these 8 values: │
│ │
│ EMAIL_1_ADDRESS=yourfirst@gmail.com │
│ EMAIL_1_PASSWORD=abcdefghijklmnop │
│ EMAIL_1_IMAP_HOST=imap.gmail.com │
│ EMAIL_1_IMAP_PORT=993 │
│ │
│ EMAIL_2_ADDRESS=yoursecond@gmail.com │
│ EMAIL_2_PASSWORD=xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy │
│ EMAIL_2_IMAP_HOST=imap.gmail.com │
│ EMAIL_2_IMAP_PORT=993 │
│ │
│ ⚠️ Use app password, NOT your regular Gmail password! │
│ ⚠️ Remove spaces from the 16-char password! │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 3: Start Docker (1 min) │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ 1. Open Docker Desktop app │
│ 2. Wait for green icon (Docker is running) │
│ 3. Open Terminal in project root: │
│ │
│ docker-compose up -d │
│ │
│ 4. Wait 10 seconds, then verify: │
│ │
│ curl http://localhost:9200 │
│ │
│ ✅ Should see JSON with Elasticsearch info │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 4: Run Backend (2 min) │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ cd backend │
│ npm install │
│ npm run dev │
│ │
│ ✅ You should see: │
│ ✓ Connected to yourfirst@gmail.com │
│ ✓ Connected to yoursecond@gmail.com │
│ ✓ Server is running on http://localhost:3001 │
│ 👀 Watching for new emails in real-time... │
│ │
│ ⚠️ Keep this terminal window open! │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Step 5: Test It! (5 min) │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ Test 1 - Health Check: │
│ Open browser or new terminal: │
│ │
│ curl http://localhost:3001/api/health │
│ │
│ ✅ Should show: "connected": true for both accounts │
│ │
│ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │
│ │
│ Test 2 - View Synced Emails: │
│ │
│ curl http://localhost:3001/api/emails │
│ │
│ ✅ Should return emails from last 30 days │
│ │
│ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │
│ │
│ Test 3 - Real-Time Sync (MOST IMPORTANT!): │
│ │
│ 1. Keep backend terminal open │
│ 2. From phone/browser, send email to one of your accounts │
│ 3. Watch the backend terminal │
│ 4. Within 30 seconds, you should see: │
│ │
│ 📧 New email notification for your@gmail.com (1 new) │
│ 📧 New email received: "Test" from sender@example.com │
│ │
│ 5. Verify in API: │
│ │
│ curl http://localhost:3001/api/emails │
│ │
│ ✅ Your new email should appear at the top! │
│ │
│ 🎉 If you see the notification - IT WORKS! Real-time sync! 🎉 │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
