aerc is a terminal email client (MUA) originally written by ~sircmpwn and now maintained by ~rjarry. It supports multiple accounts, mail synchronisation, GPG integration and more.
Installation
aerc is available in the Community repository.
# apk add aerc
Configuration
Configuration for aerc is stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aerc, with $XDG_CONFIG_HOME falling back to ~/.config if it is unset.
Settings specific to accounts (e.g. IMAP configuration) are stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aerc/accounts.conf which should only be readable and writable by the owning user (permissions 600
) as it may store sensitive data like passwords in clear text.
An example account configration using msmtp for sending email and mbsync for fetching email to a local maildirpp store could look like this:
