AERC-MAILDIR(5)               File Formats Manual              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>
           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
           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
