347 The folder to drop the mails into, which is typically the Drafts
348 folder. For example:
"INBOX.Drafts",
"INBOX/Drafts" or
349 "[Gmail]/Drafts". Required to use imap-send.
357 Command used to setup a tunnel to the IMAP server through which
358 commands will be piped instead of using a direct network connection
359 to the server. Required when imap.host is not set to use imap-send.
367 A URL identifying the server. Use a
<tt>imap://
</tt> prefix for non-secure
368 connections and a
<tt>imaps://
</tt> prefix for secure connections.
369 Ignored when imap.tunnel is set, but required to use imap-send
378 The username to use when logging in to the server.
386 The password to use when logging in to the server.
394 An integer port number to connect to on the server.
395 Defaults to
143 for imap:// hosts and
993 for imaps:// hosts.
396 Ignored when imap.tunnel is set.
404 A boolean to enable/disable verification of the server certificate
405 used by the SSL/TLS connection. Default is
<tt>true
</tt>. Ignored when
410 imap.preformattedHTML
414 A boolean to enable/disable the use of html encoding when sending
415 a patch. An html encoded patch will be bracketed with
<pre
>
416 and have a content type of text/html. Ironically, enabling this
417 option causes Thunderbird to send the patch as a plain/text,
418 format=fixed email. Default is
<tt>false
</tt>.
426 Specify authenticate method for authentication with IMAP server.
427 Current supported method is
<em>CRAM-MD5
</em> only.

464 Many projects do not like patches to be attached. Some mail
465 agents will transform patches (e.g. wrap lines, send them as
466 format=flowed) in ways that make them fail. You will get angry
467 flames ridiculing you if you don't check this.
