The `:rmdir` command removes the current directory (`-f` is required if the directory is not empty). This is not supported on the notmuch backend. An issue with the maildir backend is that some sync programs (e.g. offlineimap) may recover the directory after it is deleted. They need to specifically be configured to accept deletions, or special commands need to be executed (e.g. `offlineimap --delete-folder`) to properly delete folders. A danger of using this on the IMAP backend is that it is possible for a new message to be added to the directory and for aerc to not show it immediately (due to a slow connection) - using `:rmdir` at this moment (with `-f` if the directory already contains messages) would delete the directory and the new message that just arrived (and all other contents). This is documented in aerc(1) so that users are aware of possible risks. |

aerc
aerc is an email client for your terminal.
A short demonstration can be found on https://aerc-mail.org/
Join the IRC channel: #aerc on irc.freenode.net for end-user support, and #aerc-dev for development.
Building
Install the dependencies:
- go (>=1.13)
- scdoc
Then compile aerc:
$ make
aerc optionally supports notmuch. To enable it, you need to have a recent version of notmuch, including the header files (notmuch.h). Then compile aerc with the necessary build tags:
$ GOFLAGS=-tags=notmuch make
Installation
# make install
$ aerc
On its first run, aerc will copy the default config files to ~/.config/aerc
on Linux or ~/Library/Preferences/aerc on MacOS and show the account
configuration wizard.
If you redirect stdout to a file, logging output will be written to that file:
$ aerc > log
