PUBLIC-INBOX-IMAPD(1) public-inbox user manual PUBLIC-INBOX-IMAPD(1) NAME public-inbox-imapd - IMAP server for sharing public-inboxes SYNOPSIS public-inbox-imapd [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION public-inbox-imapd provides a read-only IMAP daemon for public-inbox. It uses options and environment variables common to all public-inbox-daemon(8) implementations. Like public-inbox-nntpd(1) and public-inbox-httpd(1), "public-inbox-imapd" will never require write access to the directory where the public-inboxes are stored, so it may be run as a different user than the user running public-inbox-watch(1), public-inbox-mda(1), or git-fetch(1). OPTIONS See common options in "OPTIONS" in public-inbox-daemon(8). Additionally, IMAP-specific behavior for certain options are supported and documented below. -l PROTO://ADDRESS/?cert=/path/to/cert,key=/path/to/key --listen PROTO://ADDRESS/?cert=/path/to/cert,key=/path/to/key In addition to the normal "-l"/"--listen" switch described in public-inbox-daemon(8), the "PROTO" prefix (e.g. "imap://" or "imaps://") may be specified to force a given protocol. For STARTTLS and IMAPS support, the "cert" and "key" may be specified on a per-listener basis after a "?" character and separated by ",". These directives are per-directive, and it's possible to use a different cert for every listener. --cert /path/to/cert The default TLS certificate for optional STARTTLS and IMAPS support if the "cert" option is not given with "--listen". If using systemd-compatible socket activation and a TCP listener on port 993 is inherited, it is automatically IMAPS when this option is given. When a listener on port 143 is inherited and this option is given, it automatically gets STARTTLS support. --key /path/to/key The default private TLS certificate key for optional STARTTLS and IMAPS support if the "key" option is not given with "--listen". The private key may concatenated into the path used by "--cert", in which case this option is not needed. CONFIGURATION "public-inbox-imapd" uses the same configuration knobs as public-inbox-nntpd(1), see public-inbox-nntpd(1) and public-inbox-config(5). publicinbox..newsgroup The newsgroup name maps to an IMAP folder name.
