 828 <dt class="hdlist1">
 829 imap.folder
 830 </dt>
 831 <dd>
 832 <p>
 833         The folder to drop the mails into, which is typically the Drafts
 834         folder. For example: "INBOX.Drafts", "INBOX/Drafts" or
 835         "[Gmail]/Drafts". Required.

 837 </dd>
 838 <dt class="hdlist1">
 839 imap.tunnel
 840 </dt>
 841 <dd>
 842 <p>
 843         Command used to set up a tunnel to the IMAP server through which
 844         commands will be piped instead of using a direct network connection
 845         to the server. Required when imap.host is not set.
 846 </p>
 847 </dd>
 848 <dt class="hdlist1">
 849 imap.host
 850 </dt>
 851 <dd>
 852 <p>
 853         A URL identifying the server. Use an <code>imap://</code> prefix for non-secure
 854         connections and an <code>imaps://</code> prefix for secure connections.
 855         Ignored when imap.tunnel is set, but required otherwise.
 856 </p>
 857 </dd>
 858 <dt class="hdlist1">
 859 imap.user
 860 </dt>
 861 <dd>
 862 <p>

 866 <dt class="hdlist1">
 867 imap.pass

 873 </dd>
 874 <dt class="hdlist1">
 875 imap.port
 876 </dt>
 877 <dd>
 878 <p>
 879         An integer port number to connect to on the server.
 880         Defaults to 143 for imap:// hosts and 993 for imaps:// hosts.
 881         Ignored when imap.tunnel is set.
 882 </p>
 883 </dd>
 884 <dt class="hdlist1">
 885 imap.sslverify
 886 </dt>
 887 <dd>
 888 <p>
 889         A boolean to enable/disable verification of the server certificate
 890         used by the SSL/TLS connection. Default is <code>true</code>. Ignored when
 891         imap.tunnel is set.
 892 </p>
 893 </dd>
 894 <dt class="hdlist1">
 895 imap.preformattedHTML
 896 </dt>
 897 <dd>
 898 <p>
 899         A boolean to enable/disable the use of html encoding when sending
 900         a patch.  An html encoded patch will be bracketed with &lt;pre&gt;
 901         and have a content type of text/html.  Ironically, enabling this
 902         option causes Thunderbird to send the patch as a plain/text,
 903         format=fixed email.  Default is <code>false</code>.

 905 </dd>
 906 <dt class="hdlist1">
 907 imap.authMethod
 908 </dt>
 909 <dd>
 910 <p>
 911         Specify the authentication method for authenticating with the IMAP server.
 912         If Git was built with the NO_CURL option, or if your curl version is older
 913         than 7.34.0, or if you&#8217;re running git-imap-send with the <code>--no-curl</code>
 914         option, the only supported method is <em>CRAM-MD5</em>. If this is not set
 915         then <em>git imap-send</em> uses the basic IMAP plaintext LOGIN command.
