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|+oauthbearer]://username[:password]@hostname[:port]?[:oauth2_params]
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
*imaps+oauthbearer://*
IMAP with TLS/SSL using OAUTHBEARER Authentication
*oauth2_params:*
If specified and a token_endpoint is provided, the configured password
is used as a refresh token to obtain an access token. If token_endpoint
is omitted, refresh token exchange is skipped, and the password acts
like an access token instead.
- token_endpoint (optional)
- client_id (optional)
- client_secret (optional)
- scope (optional)
Example:
imaps+oauthbearer://...?token_endpoint=https://...&client_id=
*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
*connection-timeout*
Maximum delay to establish a connection to the IMAP server. See
https://pkg.go.dev/time#ParseDuration.
Default: 30s
*keepalive-period*
The interval between the last data packet sent (simple ACKs are not
considered data) and the first keepalive probe. After the connection is
marked to need keepalive, this counter is not used any further. See
https://pkg.go.dev/time#ParseDuration.
By default, the system tcp socket settings are used.
*keepalive-probes*
The number of unacknowledged probes to send before considering the
connection dead and notifying the application layer.
By default, the system tcp socket settings are used.
If keepalive-period is specified, this option defaults to 3 probes.
This option is only supported on linux. On other platforms, it will be
ignored.
*keepalive-interval*
The interval between subsequential keepalive probes, regardless of what
the connection has exchanged in the meantime. Fractional seconds are
truncated.
By default, the system tcp socket settings are used.
If keepalive-period is specified, this option defaults to 3s.
This option is only supported on linux. On other platforms, it will be
ignored.
*check-mail-include*
Specifies the comma separated list of folders to include when checking for
new mail with *check-mail*. Names prefixed with ~ are interpreted as regular
expressions.
Default: all folders
*check-mail-exclude*
Specifies the comma separated list of folders to exclude when checking for
new mail with *check-mail*. Names prefixed with ~ are interpreted as regular
expressions.
Note that this overrides anything from *check-mail-include*.
Default: no folders
*cache-headers*
If set to true, headers will be cached. The cached headers will be stored
in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aerc, which defaults to ~/.cache/aerc.
Default: false
*cache-max-age*
Defines the maximum age of cached files. Note: the longest unit of time
cache-max-age can be specified in is hours. Set to 0 to disable cleaning
the cache
Default: 720h (30 days)
