<p>All configuration files resides in the ./conf and ./conf/META-INF folder.</p>
<p>With default Spring wiring, we ship with default configuration. It gets automatically deployed in the conf folder while unzipping.
Of course, you can change the files *.xml the settings to match your needs.</p>
<p> For Guice based wiring, you are encouraged to take a look at default configuration of the
<a class="externalLink" href="https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/james">James docker images</a>.</p>
<p>Please note that the configuration is dependent of the wiring you have chosen. Some configuration files are specific to
some back-ends, to some protocols. Please also note that some configuration files are not required for Guice. In this
case, it will be specified.</p>
<p>In every configuration files, you can use the following notation to use an environment variable: ${env:MY_VAR}.
If MY_VAR exists, it will be replaced by the matching environment variable.
If it does not, ${env:MY_VAR} will be kept as is.</p>
<p>You can/must configure James for the following:</p>
