imap

imap.folder
The folder to drop the mails into, which is typically the Drafts folder. For example: INBOX.Drafts, INBOX/Drafts or [Gmail]/Drafts. The IMAP folder to interact with MUST be specified; the value of this configuration variable is used as the fallback default value when the --folder option is not given.

imap.tunnel
Command used to set up a tunnel to the IMAP server through which commands will be piped instead of using a direct network connection to the server. Required when imap.host is not set.

imap.host
A URL identifying the server. Use an imap:// prefix for non-secure connections and an imaps:// prefix for secure connections. Ignored when imap.tunnel is set, but required otherwise.

imap.user
The username to use when logging in to the server.

imap.pass
The password to use when logging in to the server.

imap.port
An integer port number to connect to on the server. Defaults to 143 for imap:// hosts and 993 for imaps:// hosts. Ignored when imap.tunnel is set.

imap.sslverify
A boolean to enable/disable verification of the server certificate used by the SSL/TLS connection. Default is true. Ignored when imap.tunnel is set.

imap.preformattedHTML
A boolean to enable/disable the use of html encoding when sending a patch. An html encoded patch will be bracketed with <pre> and have a content type of text/html. Ironically, enabling this option causes Thunderbird to send the patch as a plain/text, format=fixed email. Default is false.

imap.authMethod
Specify the authentication method for authenticating with the IMAP server. If Git was built with the NO_CURL option, or if your curl version is older than 7.34.0, or if you’re running git-imap-send with the --no-curl option, the only supported methods are PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, OAUTHBEARER and XOAUTH2. If this is not set then git imap-send uses the basic IMAP plaintext LOGIN command.
