NAME

       public-inbox-imapd - IMAP server for sharing public-inboxes

SYNOPSIS

         public-inbox-imapd [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       public-inbox-imapd provides a read-only IMAP daemon for public-inbox.  It uses options and
       environment variables common to all public-inbox-daemon(8) implementations.

       Like public-inbox-nntpd(1) and public-inbox-httpd(1), "public-inbox-imapd" will never
       require write access to the directory where the public-inboxes are stored, so it may be
       run as a different user than the user running public-inbox-watch(1), public-inbox-mda(1),
       or git-fetch(1).

OPTIONS

       See common options in "OPTIONS" in public-inbox-daemon(8).  Additionally, IMAP-specific
       behavior for certain options are supported and documented below.

       -l PROTOCOL://ADDRESS/?cert=/path/to/cert,key=/path/to/key
       --listen PROTOCOL://ADDRESS/?cert=/path/to/cert,key=/path/to/key
           In addition to the normal "-l"/"--listen" switch described in public-inbox-daemon(8),
           the "PROTOCOL" prefix (e.g. "imap://" or "imaps://") may be specified to force a given
           protocol.

           For STARTTLS and IMAPS support, the "cert" and "key" may be specified on a per-
           listener basis after a "?" character and separated by ",".  These directives are per-
           directive, and it's possible to use a different cert for every listener.

       --cert /path/to/cert
           The default TLS certificate for optional STARTTLS and IMAPS support if the "cert"
           option is not given with "--listen".

           If using systemd-compatible socket activation and a TCP listener on port 993 is
           inherited, it is automatically IMAPS when this option is given.  When a listener on
           port 143 is inherited and this option is given, it automatically gets STARTTLS
           support.

       --key /path/to/key
           The default private TLS certificate key for optional STARTTLS and IMAPS support if the
           "key" option is not given with "--listen".  The private key may be concatenated into
           the path used by "--cert", in which case this option is not needed.

CONFIGURATION

       "public-inbox-imapd" uses the same configuration knobs as public-inbox-nntpd(1), see
       public-inbox-nntpd(1) and public-inbox-config(5).

       publicinbox.<name>.newsgroup
               The newsgroup name maps to an IMAP folder name.
