6 aerc-maildir - maildir configuration for aerc(1)
7
9 aerc implements the maildir format.
10
12 Maildir accounts currently are not supported with the :new-account com‐
13 mand and must be added manually to the aerc-config(5) file.
14
15 The following maildir-specific options are available:
16
17 check-mail-cmd
18 Command to run in conjunction with check-mail option.
19
20 Example:
21 mbsync -a
22
23 Default: none
24
25 check-mail-timeout
26 Timeout for the check-mail-cmd. The command will be stopped if it
27 does not complete in this interval and an error will be displayed.
28 Increase from the default if repeated errors occur
29
30 Default: 10s
31
32 source
33 maildir://path
34
35 The source indicates the path to the directory containing your
36 maildirs rather than one maildir specifically.
37
38 The path portion of the URL following maildir:// must be either an
39 absolute path prefixed by / or a path relative to your home direc‐
40 tory prefixed with ~. For example:
41
42 source = maildir:///home/me/mail
43
44 source = maildir://~/mail
45
46 If your maildir is using the Maildir++ directory layout, you can
47 use the maildirpp:// scheme instead:
48
49 source = maildirpp:///home/me/mail
50
51 source = maildirpp://~/mail
