## Data Model

### Core TypeScript Types

| Type | Location | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
| `SoftInstalled` | `@shared/app` | Installed version information |
| `OnlineVersionItem` | `@shared/app` | Online version metadata |
| `AppModuleItem` | `@/core/type` | Module registration structure |
| `CommonSetItem` | `@/components/Conf/setup` | Configuration item definition |

### MailPit Class Structure

```typescript
class MailPit extends Base {
  type: string = 'mailpit'
  pidPath: string                    // PID file path
  
  // Core methods
  init(): void                       // Initialize paths
  initConfig(): ForkPromise<string>  // Create default config
  fetchLogPath(): ForkPromise<string>
  _startServer(version: SoftInstalled): ForkPromise<any>
  fetchAllOnlineVersion(): ForkPromise<OnlineVersionItem[]>
  allInstalledVersions(setup: any): ForkPromise<SoftInstalled[]>
  brewinfo(): ForkPromise<any>
  portinfo(): ForkPromise<{}>
}
```

## Core Components

### Backend: MailPit Class

| Method | Responsibility | Key Features |
|--------|---------------|--------------|
| `init()` | Initialize module paths | Sets `pidPath` to `{BaseDir}/mailpit/mailpit.pid` |
| `initConfig()` | Configuration file initialization | Creates `mailpit.conf` from template if not exists |
| `_startServer()` | Service startup | Platform-specific process spawning with environment variables |
| `fetchAllOnlineVersion()` | Version discovery | Fetches available versions from api.one-env.com |
| `allInstalledVersions()` | Local version scanning | Searches for installed mailpit binaries |

#### Configuration Initialization Flow

The `initConfig()` method creates the initial configuration:

1. Creates `{BaseDir}/mailpit` directory if not exists
2. Reads template from `static/tmpl/mailpit.conf`
3. Replaces `##LOG_FILE##` placeholder with actual log path
4. Writes configuration to `mailpit.conf`
5. Creates backup copy as `mailpit.conf.default`

Sources: src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:36-60

#### Service Startup Logic

MailPit uses environment variables for configuration (not command-line arguments):

```typescript
// Parse config file into environment variables
const getConfEnv = async () => {
  const content = await readFile(iniFile, 'utf-8')
  const arr = content
    .split('\n')
    .filter((s) => {
      const str = s.trim()
      return !!str && str.startsWith('MP_')
    })
    .map((s) => s.trim())
  // Convert to key-value pairs
  const dict: Record<string, string> = {}
  arr.forEach((a) => {
    const item = a.split('=')
    const k = item.shift()
    const v = item.join('=')
    if (k) {
      dict[k] = v
    }
  })
  return dict
}
```

Platform differences:
- **Windows**: Uses `$env:VAR="value"` PowerShell syntax
- **macOS/Linux**: Uses `export VAR="value"` shell syntax

Sources: src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:81-176

### Frontend: Module Registration

```typescript
const module: AppModuleItem = {
  moduleType: 'emailServer',
  typeFlag: 'mailpit',
  label: 'Mailpit',
  icon: import('@/svg/mailpit.svg?raw'),
  index: defineAsyncComponent(() => import('./Index.vue')),
  aside: defineAsyncComponent(() => import('./aside.vue')),
  asideIndex: 13,
  isService: true,
  isTray: true
}
```

Sources: src/render/components/MailPit/Module.ts:1-15

### Frontend: Main View (Index.vue)

| Tab Index | Component | Purpose |
|-----------|-----------|---------|
| 0 | Service | Service control (start/stop/restart) |
| 1 | Manager | Version installation and management |
| 2 | Config | Configuration file editor |
| 3 | Logs | Log file viewer |

Features:
- **Web UI Button**: When service is running, displays a button to open MailPit Web UI
- **Dynamic Port Detection**: Reads `MP_UI_BIND_ADDR` from config to determine the correct port (default: 8025)

Sources: src/render/components/MailPit/Index.vue:1-68

### Frontend: Configuration Editor (Config.vue)

Configuration is organized into categories:

| Category | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| General | Database, logging, message retention settings |
| Web UI & API | UI bind address, TLS, authentication |
| SMTP server | SMTP bind address, TLS, authentication |
| SMTP relay | Relay configuration for forwarding emails |
| POP3 server | POP3 bind address and authentication |
| Tagging | Message tagging rules |
| Webhook | Webhook notifications |

Key configuration options:

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `MP_UI_BIND_ADDR` | 0.0.0.0:8025 | Web UI listen address |
| `MP_SMTP_BIND_ADDR` | 0.0.0.0:1025 | SMTP server listen address |
| `MP_POP3_BIND_ADDR` | 0.0.0.0:1110 | POP3 server listen address |
| `MP_MAX_MESSAGES` | 500 | Maximum messages to retain |
| `MP_LOG_FILE` | - | Log file path |
| `MP_DATABASE` | - | SQLite database path |

## Lifecycle Management

### Service Startup Sequence

```
startService() [Inherited from Base]
    │
    ├── _linkVersion()          # Homebrew version linking (Unix only)
    │
    ├── _stopServer()           # Stop any running instance
    │   │
    │   ├── Read PID from file
    │   ├── Process list search
    │   ├── Process kill with appropriate signal
    │   └── Remove PID file
    │
    ├── _startServer()          # MailPit-specific start
    │   │
    │   ├── initConfig()        # Ensure config exists
    │   ├── getConfEnv()        # Parse config to env vars
    │   ├── mkdirp(baseDir)     # Ensure working directory
    │   └── serviceStartExec()  # Spawn process
    │
    └── Write PID to file       # Persist for state tracking
```

Sources: src/fork/module/Base/index.ts:88-121, src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:81-176

### Service Stop Sequence

The `_stopServer()` method in Base class handles service termination:

1. **PID Collection**:
   - Read PID from `{BaseDir}/pid/mailpit.pid`
   - Search for child processes
   - Search by process name (`mailpit`)

2. **Signal Selection**:
   - Most services: `-INT` (graceful shutdown)
   - Some databases: `-TERM` (e.g., MySQL, MongoDB)

3. **Process Termination**:
   - Windows: `ProcessKill('-INT', pids)`
   - Unix: `ProcessKill(sig, pids)`

4. **Cleanup**:
   - Remove PID file
   - Emit log events

Sources: src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:36-278, src/fork/module/Base/index.ts:34-447

### IPC Communication Pattern

```typescript
// Frontend request
IPC.send('app-fork:mailpit', 'startService', version)
  .then((key: string, res: any) => {
    IPC.off(key)
    // Handle response
  })

// Backend handler (inherited from Base)
exec(fnName: string, ...args: any) {
  const fn = this?.[fnName] as any
  if (fn) {
    return fn.call(this, ...args)
  }
  return new ForkPromise((resolve, reject) => {
    reject(new Error(`No Found Function: ${fnName}`))
  })
}
```

Sources: src/fork/module/Base/index.ts:34-43

## Configuration

### Configuration File Structure

MailPit uses environment variable-style configuration:

```
# General Settings
MP_DATABASE=/path/to/mailpit.db
MP_MAX_MESSAGES=500
MP_LOG_FILE=/path/to/mailpit.log

# Web UI Settings
MP_UI_BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0:8025
MP_WEBROOT=/

# SMTP Server Settings
MP_SMTP_BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0:1025

# POP3 Server Settings
MP_POP3_BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0:1110
```

### Configuration Initialization

When configuration file doesn't exist:

1. Template is read from `static/tmpl/mailpit.conf`
2. `##LOG_FILE##` placeholder is replaced with actual path
3. File is written to `{BaseDir}/mailpit/mailpit.conf`
4. Copy saved as `mailpit.conf.default`

Sources: src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:36-60

### Frontend Configuration Sync

Config.vue implements bidirectional sync between visual editor and raw config:

1. **Config → UI**: Parse config file, populate `commonSetting` array
2. **UI → Config**: Watch setting changes, update config text via regex
3. **Regex Pattern**: `/^[\s\n#]?([\s#]*?)VAR_NAME(.*?)([^\n])(\n|$)/gm`

Sources: src/render/components/MailPit/Config.vue:508-576

## Platform Differences

| Feature | macOS | Windows | Linux |
|---------|-------|---------|-------|
| Installation | Static binary / Homebrew | Static binary (.zip) | Static binary (.tar.gz) |
| Process spawn | Shell script with `export` env | PowerShell with `$env:` env | Shell script with `export` env |
| Binary name | `mailpit` | `mailpit.exe` | `mailpit` |
| Version linking | Homebrew `brew link/unlink` | N/A | N/A |
| xattr fix | `binXattrFix()` after install | N/A | N/A |

Sources: src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:118-175, src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:252-257

---

## UI Components

### Aside Component

The sidebar item provides:
- **Icon**: MailPit SVG icon with color change on running state
- **Toggle Switch**: Quick start/stop without navigating to module
- **Navigation**: Click to open module main view
- **State Integration**: Uses `AsideSetup('mailpit')` for state management

Sources: src/render/components/MailPit/aside.vue:1-52

### Logs Component

Simple log viewer that:
1. Calls `fetchLogPath` IPC command to get log file location
2. Uses `LogVM` component for log display
3. Provides log tools (clear, refresh, etc.)

Sources: src/render/components/MailPit/Logs.vue:1-25

---

## Version Management

### Online Version Fetching

```typescript
fetchAllOnlineVersion() {
  // Calls api.one-env.com for available versions
  const all = await this._fetchOnlineVersion('mailpit')
  
  // Sets platform-specific paths:
  // Windows: {AppDir}/mailpit-{version}/mailpit.exe
  // Unix: {AppDir}/static-mailpit-{version}/mailpit
}
```

Sources: src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:178-206

### Local Version Scanning

```typescript
allInstalledVersions(setup: any) {
  // Scans directories from setup.mailpit.dirs
  // Extracts version using: /(v)(\d+(\.\d+){1,4})( )/g regex
}
```

Sources: src/fork/module/MailPit/index.ts:208-250

---

## Integration Points

### With BrewStore

Frontend state is managed through Pinia's `BrewStore`:

```typescript
const brewStore = BrewStore()
const isRunning = computed(() => {
  return brewStore.module('mailpit').installed.some((m) => m.run)
})
```

Sources: src/render/components/MailPit/Index.vue:54-57

### With ServiceManager

The Service component (tab 0) provides:
- Start/Stop/Restart buttons
- Service status display
- Process information
- Group operations (start all / stop all)

---

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Config not found | First run | `initConfig()` auto-creates on first access |
| Port already in use | Another service using 8025/1025 | Change `MP_UI_BIND_ADDR` or `MP_SMTP_BIND_ADDR` |
| Cannot open Web UI | Service not running | Check service status in UI |
| Log file not found | Path not set | Set `MP_LOG_FILE` in configuration |

### Debug Logging

Enable verbose logging:
```
MP_VERBOSE=true
```

View logs:
- UI: Logs tab in module view
- File: Path from `fetchLogPath()` IPC call
