AERC-MAILDIR(5)

NAME

aerc-maildir - maildir configuration for aerc(1)

SYNOPSIS

aerc implements the maildir format.

CONFIGURATION

Maildir accounts currently are not supported with the :new-account command and must be added manually to the accounts.conf file (see aerc-accounts(5)).

The following maildir-specific options are available:

check-mail-cmd = <command>
    Command to run in conjunction with check-mail option.

    Example:
        check-mail-cmd = mbsync -a

check-mail-timeout = <duration>
    Timeout for the check-mail-cmd. The command will be stopped if it does not complete in this interval and an error will be displayed. Increase from the default if repeated errors occur

    Default: 10s

source = maildir|maildirpp://<path>
    The source indicates the path to the directory containing your maildirs rather than one maildir specifically.

    The path portion of the URL following maildir:// must be either an absolute path prefixed by / or a path relative to your home directory prefixed with ~. For example:

        source = maildir:///home/me/mail

        source = maildir://~/mail

    If your maildir is using the Maildir++ directory layout, you can use the maildirpp:// scheme instead:

        source = maildirpp:///home/me/mail

        source = maildirpp://~/mail
