MELI.CONF(5)

NAME
meli.conf - configuration file for the meli(1) terminal e-mail client

SYNOPSIS
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/meli/config.toml

DESCRIPTION
Configuration for meli is written in TOML which has a few things to consider (quoting the spec):

•   TOML is case sensitive.
•   A TOML file must be a valid UTF-8 encoded Unicode document.
•   Whitespace means tab (0x09) or space (0x20).
•   Newline means LF (0x0A) or CRLF (0x0D 0x0A).

Refer to TOML documentation for valid TOML syntax.

Though not part of TOML syntax, meli.conf can have nested configuration files by using the following m4(1) include macro:
    include("/path/to/file")

SECTIONS
The top level sections of the config are:
•   accounts
•   shortcuts
•   notifications
•   pager
•   listing
•   composing
•   pgp
•   terminal
•   log

    The format of the mail backend.

mailboxes mailbox
    (optional) Configuration for each mailbox. Its format is described below in mailboxes .

  notmuch only
notmuch is supported by loading the dynamic library libnotmuch. If its location is missing from your library paths, you must add it yourself. Alternatively, you can specify its path by using a setting.

notmuch mailboxes are virtual, since they are defined by user-given notmuch queries. You must explicitly state the mailboxes you want in the mailboxes field and set the query property to each of them. To create a tree hierarchy with virtual mailboxes, define the parent property to a mailbox as the name of the parent mailbox you have used in your configuration.

Account properties:

root_mailbox
    points to the directory which contains the .notmuch/ subdirectory.

library_file_path Path
    Use an arbitrary location of libnotmuch by specifying its full filesystem path. (optional)
Mailbox properties:

query String
    The notmuch query that defines what content this virtual mailbox has. Refer to notmuch-search-terms(7) for notmuch's search syntax.

parent String
    If you wish to build a mailbox hierarchy, define the name of a parent mailbox you have used in your configuration. (optional)
Example:

    [accounts.notmuch]
    format = "notmuch"
    #library_file_path = "/opt/homebrew/lib/libnotmuch.5.dylib"
    ...
      [accounts.notmuch.mailboxes]
      "INBOX" = {  query="tag:inbox", subscribe = true }
      "Drafts" = {  query="tag:draft", subscribe = true }
      "Sent" = {  query="from:username@example.com from:username2@example.com", subscribe = true }
      "Archives" = {  query="tag:archived", subscribe = true }
      "Archives/2019" = {  query="tag:archived date:01-2019..12-2019", parent="Archives", subscribe = true }

  IMAP only
IMAP specific options are:

server_hostname String
    example: "mail.example.com"

server_username String
    Server username

server_password String
    Server password

server_password_command String
    (optional) Use instead of server_password

server_port number
    (optional) The port to connect to (143)

use_starttls boolean
    (optional) If port is 993 and use_starttls is unspecified, it becomes false by default. (true)

use_tls boolean
    (optional) Connect with TLS (or upgrade from plain connection to TLS if STARTTLS is set). (true)

danger_accept_invalid_certs boolean
    (optional) Do not validate TLS certificates. (false)

use_idle boolean
    (optional) Use IDLE extension (true)

use_condstore boolean
    (optional) Use CONDSTORE extension (true)

use_deflate boolean
    (optional) Use COMPRESS=DEFLATE extension (if built with DEFLATE support) (true)

use_oauth2 boolean
    (optional) Use OAUTH2 authentication. Can only be used with server_password_command which should return a base64-encoded OAUTH2 token ready to be passed to IMAP. For help on setup with Gmail, see Gmail section below. (false)

timeout integer
    (optional) Timeout to use for server connections in seconds. A timeout of 0 seconds means there's no timeout. (16)

  Gmail
Gmail has non-standard IMAP behaviors that need to be worked around.

  Gmail - sending mail
Option store_sent_mail should be disabled since Gmail auto-saves sent mail by its own.

  Gmail OAUTH2
To use OAUTH2, you must go through a process to register your own private "application" with Google that can use OAUTH2 tokens. For convenience in the meli repository under the contrib/ directory you can find a python3 file named oauth2.py to generate and request the appropriate data to perform OAUTH2 authentication. Steps:
•   In Google APIs, create a custom OAuth client ID and note down the Client ID and Client Secret. You may need to create a consent screen; follow the steps described in the website.
•   Run the oauth2.py script as follows (after adjusting binary paths and credentials): python3 oauth2.py --user=xxx@gmail.com --client_id=1038[...].apps.googleusercontent.com --client_secret=VWFn8LIKAMC-MsjBMhJeOplZ --generate_oauth2_token and follow the instructions. Note down the refresh token.
•   In server_password_command enter a command like this (after adjusting binary paths and credentials): TOKEN=$(python3 oauth2.py --user=xxx@gmail.com --quiet --client_id=1038[...].apps.googleusercontent.com --client_secret=VWFn8LIKAMC-MsjBMhJeOplZ --refresh_token=1/Yzm6MRy4q1xi7Dx2DuWXNgT6s37OrP_DW_IoyTum4YA) && python3 oauth2.py --user=xxx@gmail.com --generate_oauth2_string --quiet --access_token=$TOKEN
•   On startup, meli should evaluate this command which if successful must only return a base64-encoded token ready to be passed to IMAP.

  JMAP only
JMAP specific options

server_url String
    example: "http://mail.example.com" "http://mail.example.com:8080" "https://mail.example.com"

server_username String
    Server username

server_password String
    Server password

danger_accept_invalid_certs boolean
    (optional) Do not validate TLS certificates. (false)

  mbox only
mbox specific options

prefer_mbox_type String
    (optional) Prefer specific mbox format reader for each message. Default is mboxcl2 format. If the preferred format fails, the message is retried with mboxrd and then if it fails again there's a recover attempt, which discards the invalid message. Valid values
    •   auto
    •   mboxo
    •   mboxrd
    •   mboxcl
    •   mboxcl2
    (auto)
To set multiple mailboxes, you have to explicitly state the mailboxes you want in the mailboxes field and set the path property to each of them. Example:

    (optional) Connect with TLS. (false)

server_port number
    (optional) The port to connect to (119)

danger_accept_invalid_certs boolean
    (optional) Do not validate TLS certificates. (false)

store_flags_locally boolean
    (optional) Store seen status locally in an sqlite3 database. (true)

You have to explicitly state the groups you want to see in the mailboxes field. Example:

    [accounts.sicpm.mailboxes]
      "sic.all" = {}

To submit articles directly to the NNTP server, you must set the special value server_submission in the send_mail field. Example:

    composing.send_mail = "server_submission"

        [accounts."imap.example.com".mailboxes]

          "INBOX/Drafts" = { sort_order = 1 }
          "INBOX/Lists" = { sort_order = 2 }

encoding String

send_mail String|SmtpServerConf
    Command to pipe new mail to (exit code must be 0 for success) or settings for an SMTP server connection. See section SMTP Connections for its fields.

reply_prefix String
    (optional) The prefix to use in reply subjects. The de facto prefix is "Re:". (`Re:`)

    RFC 2822, "Internet Message Format" has this to say on the matter:

    •   important-header-warn — Warn if important headers (From, Date, To, Cc, Bcc) are missing or invalid.
