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 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
