The publisher lists these environment variables: IMAP_HOST, MAIL_USER, MAIL_PASSWORD, IMAP_PORT, MAIL_ADDRESS, MAIL_FROM_NAME, MAIL_ALIASES, DRAFTS_FOLDER, MARK_READ_ON_READ, BCC_SELF.

What transport does IMAP Mail use?

IMAP Mail runs locally over stdio.

When was IMAP Mail last checked?

Credentials from the publisher

MAIL_USER — IMAP login, usually the mail address
MAIL_PASSWORD — IMAP password; an app-specific password where the provider requires one
IMAP_PORT — IMAPS port
MAIL_ADDRESS — Own sender address, if it differs from the login
MAIL_FROM_NAME — Display name used as sender of drafts
MAIL_ALIASES — Additional allowed sender addresses, comma-separated; *@example.com allows a whole domain
DRAFTS_FOLDER — Drafts folder, if it is not detected automatically
MARK_READ_ON_READ — read_message marks every message it returns as read
BCC_SELF — Add the sender address as Bcc to every draft
