## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On its first run, aerc will copy the default config files to `~/.config/aerc`
|
|
|
|
|
on Linux or `~/Library/Preferences/aerc` on MacOS (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aerc` if set)
|
|
|
|
|
and show the account configuration wizard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you redirect stdout to a file, logging output will be written to that file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ aerc > log
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For instructions and documentation: see `man aerc` and further specific man
|
|
|
|
|
pages on there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the example HTML filter (off by default), additionally needs `w3m` and
|
|
|
|
|
`dante` to be installed.

|
|
|
|
$ GOFLAGS=-tags=notmuch make
