AERC-MAILDIR(5)		      File Formats Manual	       AERC-MAILDIR(5)

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-ac-
       count 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	direc-
	   tory	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
