After a quick look into the Dockerfile, it looks like imap extension is already installed for you. Maybe can you check if its enabled. If it turns out it is not installed for some reason you can create your own docker image that you based on mautic image. ---

Check phpinfo () page. I think it’s available within mautic. Or create a php file with the content ```auto **Author:** ![gowtham2024](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/g/4491bb/32.png) [@gowtham2024](https://forum.mautic.org/u/gowtham2024)\ **Post date:** [June 14, 2023, 2:02pm UTC](https://forum.mautic.org/t/installed-mautic-using-docker-and-have-issues-enabling-imap-php-extension-for-email-monitoring/28288/5 "2023-06-14T14:02:39Z") Imap is there in system info inside mautic and image of it is listed below ![Screenshot from 2023-06-14 19-30-03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/e/ed78089ecf65ca79b8f784effa1f0bf9d1507986.png) But still reply is not getting detected in mautic, Where will be problem? ---

Not sure what you mean by replies. Might be worth checking out monitored address setting ---

What do you mean by replies? Do you mean a lead replying to an email that is sent via mautic? Are you trying to capture the read or some other stats of emails sent to a lead/contact? ---

Ok that makes a bit more sense to me. I don’t use this feature (too many contacts could reply, and we discourage our marketing dept from using it). I dont think this is a docker issue. I see everything is running on localhost. One thing you must do is view the email and reply in incognito mode. This is because mautic will know your are a logged in user and it will ignore it. Give that a try and see what happens. ---

Gmail and Yahoo overwrite return paths, which prevents contact replies feature from working.
