Example: $ aerc -v aerc 0.11.0 +notmuch (go1.18.4 amd64 linux) Also include that version information in the debug and panic logs. debug.ReadBuildInfo() is only available in go 1.18+. Add a new variable set at build time to store $GOFLAGS.

aerc
aerc is an email client for your terminal.
This is a fork of the original aerc by Drew DeVault.
A short demonstration can be found on https://aerc-mail.org/
Join the IRC channel: #aerc on irc.libera.chat for end-user support, and development.
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
Note that the example HTML filter (off by default), additionally needs w3m and
dante to be installed.
Documentation
Also available as man pages:

Installation
Binary Packages
Recent versions of aerc are available on:
And likely other platforms.
From Source
Install the dependencies:
- go (>=1.16) (Go versions are supported until their end-of-life; support for older versions may be dropped at any time due to incompatibilities or newer required language features.)
- scdoc
Then compile aerc:
$ make
aerc optionally supports notmuch. To enable it, you need to have a recent version of notmuch, including the header files (notmuch.h). Then compile aerc with the necessary build tags:
$ GOFLAGS=-tags=notmuch make
To install aerc locally:
# make install
By default, aerc will install config files to directories under /usr/local/aerc,
and will search for templates and stylesets in these locations in order:
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/aerc${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/aerc/usr/local/share/aerc/usr/share/aerc
At build time it is possible to add an extra location to this list and to use
that location as the default install location for config files by setting the
PREFIX option like so:
# make PREFIX=/custom/location
# make install PREFIX=/custom/location
This will install templates and other config files to /custom/location/share/aerc,
and man pages to /custom/location/share/man. This extra location will have lower
priority than the XDG locations but higher than the fixed paths.
