AERC-MAILDIR(5) # NAME aerc-maildir - maildir configuration for *aerc*(1) # SYNOPSIS aerc implements the maildir format. # CONFIGURATION Maildir accounts currently are not supported with the *:new-account* command and must be added manually to the _accounts.conf_ file (see *aerc-accounts*(5)). The following maildir-specific options are available: *check-mail-cmd* Command to run in conjunction with *check-mail* option. Example: check-mail-cmd = mbsync -a *check-mail-timeout* 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://__ 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 # 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 assisted by other open source contributors.
