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
