[https://aerc-mail.org/ aerc] is a terminal email client (MUA) originally written by [https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/ ~sircmpwn] and now maintained by [https://sr.ht/~rjarry/ ~rjarry]. It supports multiple accounts, mail synchronisation, GPG integration and more.

== Installation ==

aerc is available in the [[Repositories#Community|Community]] repository.

{{Cmd|# apk add aerc}}

== Configuration ==

Configuration for aerc is stored in {{Path|$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aerc}}, with {{Path|$XDG_CONFIG_HOME}} falling back to {{Path|~/.config}} if it is unset.
Settings specific to accounts (e.g. IMAP configuration) are stored in {{Path|$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aerc/accounts.conf}} which should only be readable and writable by the owning user (permissions <code>600</code>) as it may store sensitive data like passwords in clear text.

An example account configration using [[Msmtp|msmtp]] for sending email and [[Mbsync|mbsync]] could look like this:

{{Cat|$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aerc/accounts.conf|<nowiki>[primary]
check-mail-cmd = mbsync primary
copy-to = Sent
from = Full Name <name@example.com>
outgoing = msmtp -a primary
source = maildirpp://~/mail/primary</nowiki>}}

The full configuration file format reference can be found in <code>aerc-accounts(5)</code>.
