NAME

aerc-maildir - maildir configuration for aerc (1)

SYNOPSIS

aerc implements the maildir format.

CONFIGURATION

Basic Maildir configuration may be done interactively with the :new-account command.

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
