This allows patches to be sent as +other email is when using mail clients that cannot read mailbox +files directly. The command also works with any general mailbox +in which emails have the fields "From", "Date", and "Subject" in +that order. + +Typical usage is something like: + +git format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git imap-send + + +OPTIONS +------- + +-v:: +--verbose:: + Be verbose. + +-q:: +--quiet:: + Be quiet. + +--curl:: + Use libcurl to communicate with the IMAP server, unless tunneling + into it. Ignored if Git was built without the USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND + option set. + +--no-curl:: + Talk to the IMAP server using git's own IMAP routines instead of + using libcurl. Ignored if Git was built with the NO_OPENSSL option + set. + + +CONFIGURATION +------------- + +To use the tool, `imap.folder` and either `imap.tunnel` or `imap.host` must be set +to appropriate values. + +include::includes/cmd-config-section-rest.txt[] + +include::config/imap.txt[] + +EXAMPLES +-------- +Using tunnel mode: + +.......................... +[imap] + folder = "INBOX.Drafts" + tunnel = "ssh -q -C user@example.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null" +.......................... + +Using direct mode: + +......................... +[imap] + folder = "INBOX.Drafts" + host = imap://imap.example.com + user = bob + pass = p4ssw0rd +......................... + +Using direct mode with SSL: + +......................... +[imap] + folder = "INBOX.Drafts" + host = imaps://imap.example.com + user = bob + pass = p4ssw0rd + port = 123 + ; sslVerify = false +......................... + + +[NOTE] +You may want to use `sslVerify=false` +while troubleshooting, if you suspect that the reason you are +having trouble connecting is because the certificate you use at +the private server `example.com` you are trying to set up (or +have set up) may not be verified correctly. + +Using Gmail's IMAP interface: + +--------- +[imap] + folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts" + host = imaps://imap.gmail.com + user = user@gmail.com + port = 993 +--------- + +[NOTE] +You might need to instead use: `folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts"` if you get an error +that the "Folder doesn't exist". + +[NOTE] +If your Gmail account is set to another language than English, the name of the "Drafts" +folder will be localized. + +Once the commits are ready to be sent, run the following command: + + $ git format-patch --cover-letter -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send + +Just make sure to disable line wrapping in the email client (Gmail's web +interface will wrap lines no matter what, so you need to use a real +IMAP client). + +CAUTION +------- +It is still your responsibility to make sure that the email message +sent by your email program meets the standards of your project. +Many projects do not like patches to be attached. Some mail +agents will transform patches (e.g. wrap lines, send them as +format=flowed) in ways that make them fail. You will get angry +flames ridiculing you if you don't check this. + +Thunderbird in particular is known to be problematic.
