Follow-up to #85. Slimming the README left no way to try ihasmail without leaving GitHub, so the Docker quick start is back — in short form this time:

  • the four commands (cp .env.example .envdocker compose up --build -d)
  • the 2FA app-password note, trimmed to the part a reader acts on
  • links to Installing and Configuring for TLS and the full environment

It sits after the Stalwart version requirement and before Architecture, so the "will this even run against my server" question is answered first.

ROADMAP.md's two-factor entry points back at that section again, rather than at the install docs it was redirected to while the section did not exist.

README is 187 lines, up from 168 — still well down from the 330 it started at.
