Is piler an alternative to imapsync, fetchmail, or is it just an archive?

Can we use AD-User credentials from Nethserver?

It’s a mail archive, see Piler — NS8 documentation

No, it seems not implemented in the used container. Maybe it could be configured manually. By default ns8-piler has it’s own users.

I read the feature list and thought it could be possible…

The SMTP server is needed to get the forwarded mails and it seems configurable to login to the webinterface via IMAP, POP3 or LDAP but it’s not enabled and I don’t know if it’s possible in the container version. Maybe it’s possible to configure it manually…

I don’t know if it’s a good idea to use a mail archiving tool as mail fetcher. Imapsync and fetchmail are much more specialized to do this task.
