NAME

6       aerc-maildir - maildir configuration for aerc(1)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       aerc implements the maildir format.
10

CONFIGURATION

12       Maildir accounts currently are not supported with the :new-account com‐
13       mand and must be added manually to the accounts.conf file (see aerc-ac‐
14       counts(5)).
15
16       The following maildir-specific options are available:
17
18       check-mail-cmd = <command>
19           Command to run in conjunction with check-mail option.
20
21           Example:
22               check-mail-cmd = mbsync -a
23
24       check-mail-timeout = <duration>
25           Timeout for the check-mail-cmd. The command will be stopped if it
26           does not complete in this interval and an error will be displayed.
27           Increase from the default if repeated errors occur
28
29           Default: 10s
30
31       source = maildir|maildirpp://<path>
32           The source indicates the path to the directory containing your
33           maildirs rather than one maildir specifically.
34
35           The path portion of the URL following maildir:// must be either an
36           absolute path prefixed by / or a path relative to your home direc‐
37           tory prefixed with ~. For example:
38
39               source = maildir:///home/me/mail
40
41               source = maildir://~/mail
42
43           If your maildir is using the Maildir++ directory layout, you can
44           use the maildirpp:// scheme instead:
45
46               source = maildirpp:///home/me/mail
47
48               source = maildirpp://~/mail
