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-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 ab- solute 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 SEE ALSO aerc(1) aerc-accounts(5) aerc-smtp(5) aerc-notmuch(5) AUTHORS Originally created by Drew DeVault and maintained by Robin Jarry who is as- sisted by other open source contributors.
