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 aerc-config(5) file.

       The following maildir-specific options are available:

       check-mail-cmd
           Command to run in conjunction with check-mail option.

           Example:
               mbsync -a

           Default: none

       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://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
