aerc-maildir - maildir configuration for \fBaerc\fR(1)
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
aerc implements the maildir format.\&
.PP
.SH CONFIGURATION
.PP
Maildir accounts currently are not supported with the \fB:new-account\fR command and
must be added manually to the \fIaccounts.\&conf\fR file (see \fBaerc-accounts\fR(5)).\&
.PP
The following maildir-specific options are available:
.PP
\fBcheck-mail-cmd\fR = \fI<command>\fR
.RS 4
Command to run in conjunction with \fBcheck-mail\fR option.\&
.PP
Example:
.RS 4
check-mail-cmd = mbsync -a
.PP
.RE
.RE
\fBcheck-mail-timeout\fR = \fI<duration>\fR
.RS 4
Timeout for the \fBcheck-mail-cmd\fR.\& 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
.PP
Default: 10s
.PP
.RE
\fBsource\fR = \fImaildir\fR|\fImaildirpp\fR://\fI<path>\fR
.RS 4
The \fBsource\fR indicates the path to the directory containing your maildirs
rather than one maildir specifically.\&
.PP
The path portion of the URL following \fImaildir://\fR must be either an absolute
path prefixed by \fI/\fR or a path relative to your home directory prefixed with
\fB~\fR.\& For example:
.PP
.RS 4
source = maildir:///home/me/mail
.PP
source = maildir://~/mail
.PP
.RE
If your maildir is using the Maildir++ directory layout, you can use the
\fImaildirpp://\fR scheme instead:
.PP
.RS 4
source = maildirpp:///home/me/mail
.PP
source = maildirpp://~/mail
