# Aerc - Allegedly "the world's best email client"
|
|
A terminal email client that's pretty decent out-of-the-box. Configuration is
|
|
divided between 3 files, the most important one is accounts.conf described here
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
please pacman -S aerc w3m dante
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll need an app password to login. This can be put directly after the email.
|
|
Gmail has one [here for
|
|
example](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
source = `imaps://emiliko%40gmail.com:passwordhere123@imap.gmail.com:993`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or alternatively use the `source-cred-cmd` to retrieve a password through a
|
|
program like `pass`, as shown below
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Gmail]
|
|
source = `imaps://emiliko%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com:993`
|
|
source-cred-cmd = `pass show gmail/primary/app_password`
|
|
outgoing = `smtps+plain://emiliko%40gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com:465`
|
|
outgoing-cred-cmd = `pass show gmail/primary/app_password`
|
|
default = INBOX
|
|
from = Emiliko Mirror <emiliko@gmail.com>
|
|
copy-to = Sent
|
|
check-mail = 1m
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For other email providers, look up their server names and port, for example
|
|
Fastmail has them [listed
