aerc-imap(5) # NAME aerc-imap - IMAP configuration for *aerc*(1) # SYNOPSIS aerc implements the IMAP protocol as specified by RFC 3501, with the following IMAP extensions: - IDLE (RFC 2177) # CONFIGURATION IMAP configuration may be done interactively with the :new-account command. In accounts.conf (see *aerc-config*(5)), the following IMAP-specific options are available: *source* imap[s][+insecure]://username[:password]@hostname[:port] Remember that all fields must be URL encoded. The "@" symbol, when URL encoded, is *%40*. The meaning of the scheme component is: *imap://*: IMAP with STARTTLS *imap+insecure://*: IMAP without STARTTLS *imaps*: IMAP with TLS/SSL *source_cred_cmd* Specifies the command to run to get the password for the IMAP account. This command will be run using `sh -c [command]`. If a password is specified in the *source* option, the password will take precedence over this command. Example: `pass hostname/username` # SEE ALSO *aerc*(1) *aerc-config*(5) *aerc-smtp*(5) # AUTHORS Maintained by Drew DeVault , who is assisted by other open source contributors.
