697 # detection for these folder types is unreliable or doesn't work.
699 # Note that enabling this variable should happen before any "mailboxes"

714 # When set, NeoMutt will check for new mail delivered while the mailbox is open.
715 # Especially with MH mailboxes, this operation can take quite some time since it
716 # involves scanning the directory and checking each file to see if it has already
717 # been looked at. If this variable is unset, no check for new mail is performed

756 # When set, NeoMutt will use and allow 24bit colours (aka truecolor aka
757 # directcolor). For colours to work properly support from the terminal is
758 # required as well as a properly set TERM environment variable advertising the
759 # terminals directcolor capability, e.g. "TERM=xterm-direct".
761 # NeoMutt tries to detect whether the terminal supports 24bit colours and enables
762 # this variable if it does. If this fails for some reason, you can force 24bit
763 # colours by setting this variable manually. You may also try to force a certain
764 # TERM environment variable by starting NeoMutt from a terminal as follows (this
765 # results in wrong colours if the terminal does not implement directcolors):

1073 # When $crypt_protected_headers_read is set, and a message with a protected

1079 # you could see or search/limit on the protected subject again.
1081 # When this variable is set, NeoMutt additionally saves the protected Subject
1082 # back in the clear-text message headers. This provides better usability, but
1083 # with the tradeoff of reduced security. The protected Subject header, which may
1084 # have previously been encrypted, is now stored in clear-text in the message

1498 # Here is an example how it works. Let's assume $external_search_command is set
1499 # to "mairix_filter", and mairix_filter is a script which runs the old but well
1500 # loved mairix indexer with the arguments given to mairix_filter, in the "raw"
1501 # mode of mairix, producing on the standard output a list of Message-IDs, one per
1504 # If possible, it also filters down the results coming from mairix such that only
1505 # messages in the current folder remain. It can do this because it gets a hidden
1506 # first argument which is the path to the folder. (This can be the type of clean
1507 # and simple script called a one-liner.)
1509 # Now if NeoMutt gets a limit or tag command followed by the pattern "~I '-t
1510 # s:bleeping='", mairix_filter runs mairix with the arguments from inside the
1511 # quotes (the quotes are needed because of the space after "-t"), mairix finds
1512 # all messages with "bleeping" in the Subject plus all messages sharing threads
1513 # with these and outputs their file names, and mairix_filter translates the file
1514 # names into Message-IDs. Finally, NeoMutt reads the Message-IDs and targets the
1515 # matching messages with the command given to it.
1517 # You, the user, still have to rewrite the mairix_filter script to match the
1518 # behavior of your indexer, but this should help users of indexers other than
1519 # notmuch to integrate them cleanly with NeoMutt.
1528 # When set, the initial prompt for recipients (to, cc, bcc) and subject are
1529 # skipped when the relevant information is already provided. These cases include

2500 # 3.165. imap_pipeline_depth
2505 # Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they are sent
2506 # to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time NeoMutt must wait
2507 # for the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much more responsive. But not
2508 # all servers correctly handle pipelined commands, so if you have problems you
2509 # might want to try setting this variable to 0.
2511 # Note: Changes to this variable have no effect on open connections.
2515 # 3.166. imap_poll_timeout
2520 # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that NeoMutt will
2521 # wait for a response when polling IMAP connections for new mail, before timing
2522 # out and closing the connection. Set to 0 to disable timing out.
2526 # 3.167. imap_qresync
2531 # When set, NeoMutt will use the QRESYNC extension (RFC7162) if advertised by the
2532 # server. NeoMutt's current implementation is basic, used only for initial
2533 # message fetching and flag updates.

2536 # behavior, such as duplicate or missing messages please file a bug report to let
2541 # 3.168. imap_rfc5161
2546 # When set, NeoMutt will use the IMAP ENABLE extension (RFC5161) to select
2547 # CAPABILITIES. Some servers (notably Coremail System IMap Server) do not
2548 # properly respond to ENABLE commands, which might cause NeoMutt to hang. If your
2549 # connection seems to freeze at login, try unsetting this. See also https://
2550 # github.com/neomutt/neomutt/issues/1689
2554 # 3.169. imap_send_id
2559 # When set, NeoMutt will send an IMAP ID command (RFC2971) to the server when
2560 # logging in if advertised by the server. This command provides information about
2561 # the IMAP client, such as "NeoMutt" and the current version.
2565 # 3.170. imap_server_noise
2570 # When set, NeoMutt will display warning messages from the IMAP server as error
2571 # messages. Since these messages are often harmless, or generated due to
2572 # configuration problems on the server which are out of the users' hands, you may
2573 # wish to suppress them at some point.

2594 # flag set for every MIME attachment it doesn't have an internal viewer defined
2595 # for. If such an entry is found, NeoMutt will use the viewer defined in that
2596 # entry to convert the body part to text form.
2605 # Controls whether or not a copy of the message(s) you are replying to is
2606 # included in your reply.
2611 # 3.174. include_encrypted
2616 # Controls whether or not NeoMutt includes separately encrypted attachment
2617 # contents when replying.
2619 # This variable was added to prevent accidental exposure of encrypted contents
2620 # when replying to an attacker. If a previously encrypted message were attached
2621 # by the attacker, they could trick an unwary recipient into decrypting and
2622 # including the message in their reply.
2626 # 3.175. include_only_first
2631 # Controls whether or not NeoMutt includes only the first attachment of the
2632 # message you are replying.

2641 # Specifies the string to prepend to each line of text quoted in a message to
2642 # which you are replying. You are strongly encouraged not to change this value,
2643 # as it tends to agitate the more fanatical netizens.
2645 # The value of this option is ignored if $text_flowed is set, because the quoting
2646 # mechanism is strictly defined for format=flowed.

3291 # be run if the attachment's extension is not found in the mime.types file.
3293 # The string may contain a "%s", which will be substituted with the attachment
3294 # filename. NeoMutt will add quotes around the string substituted for "%s"
3295 # automatically according to shell quoting rules, so you should avoid adding your
3296 # own. If no "%s" is found in the string, NeoMutt will append the attachment
3297 # filename to the end of the string.

4799 # 3.322. quote_regex
4801 # Type: regular expression
4802 # Default: “^([ t]*[|>:}#])+”
4804 # A regular expression used in the internal pager to determine quoted sections of
4805 # text in the body of a message. Quoted text may be filtered out using the
4806 # <toggle-quoted> command, or colored according to the "color quoted" family of
4809 # Higher levels of quoting may be colored differently ("color quoted1", "color
4810 # quoted2", etc.). The quoting level is determined by removing the last character
4811 # from the matched text and recursively reapplying the regular expression until
4812 # it fails to produce a match.
4814 # Match detection may be overridden by the $smileys regular expression.
4823 # If set to a value greater than 0, NeoMutt will display which message it is
4824 # currently on when reading a mailbox or when performing search actions such as
4825 # search and limit. The message is printed after this many messages have been
4826 # read or searched (e.g., if set to 25, NeoMutt will print a message when it is
4827 # at message 25, and then again when it gets to message 50). This variable is
4828 # meant to indicate progress when reading or searching large mailboxes which may
4829 # take some time. When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the
4830 # reading the mailbox.
4832 # Also see the $write_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the "tuning"
4833 # section of the manual for performance considerations.

4864 # Controls whether or not NeoMutt recalls postponed messages when composing a new
4867 # Setting this variable to yes is not generally useful, and thus not recommended.
4868 # Note that the <recall-message> function can be used to manually recall
4869 # postponed messages.
4871 # Also see $postponed variable.
4881 # This specifies the file into which your outgoing messages should be appended.
4882 # (This is meant as the primary method for saving a copy of your messages, but
4883 # another way to do this is using the "my_hdr" command to create a "Bcc:" field

4897 # This option controls how quotes from format=flowed messages are displayed in
4898 # the pager and when replying (with $text_flowed unset). When set, this option
4899 # adds spaces after each level of quote marks, turning ">>>foo" into "> > > foo".
4901 # Note: If $reflow_text is unset, this option has no effect. Also, this option
4902 # does not affect replies when $text_flowed is set.
4906 # 3.329. reflow_text
4911 # When set, NeoMutt will reformat paragraphs in text/plain parts marked format=
4912 # flowed. If unset, NeoMutt will display paragraphs unaltered from how they
4913 # appear in the message body. See RFC3676 for details on the format=flowed
4916 # Also see $reflow_wrap, and $wrap.
4920 # 3.330. reflow_wrap
4925 # This variable controls the maximum paragraph width when reformatting text/plain
4926 # parts when $reflow_text is set. When the value is 0, paragraphs will be wrapped
4927 # at the terminal's right margin. A positive value sets the paragraph width
4928 # relative to the left margin. A negative value set the paragraph width relative
4929 # to the right margin.
4931 # Be aware that the reformatted lines of a paragraph are still subject to $wrap.
4932 # This means if $reflow_wrap is 40 and $wrap is 30, then the paragraph gets
4933 # reformatted to 40 characters a line (due to $reflow_wrap) and afterwards each
4934 # 40-character-line is split at 30 characters (due to $wrap), resulting in
4935 # alternating line lengths of 30 and 10 characters.
4942 # 3.331. reply_regex
4944 # Type: regular expression
4945 # Default: “^((re|aw|sv)([[0-9]+])*:[ t]*)*”
4947 # A regular expression used to recognize reply messages when threading and
4948 # replying. The default value corresponds to the standard Latin "Re:" prefix.
4950 # This value may have been localized by the translator for your locale, adding
4951 # other prefixes that are common in the locale. You can add your own prefixes by
4952 # appending inside "^(re)". For example: "^(re|sv)" or "^(re|aw|sv)".
4954 # The second parenthesized expression matches zero or more bracketed numbers
4955 # following the prefix, such as "Re[1]: ". The initial "\[" means a literal
4956 # left-bracket character. Note the backslash must be doubled when used inside a
4957 # double quoted string in the neomuttrc. "[0-9]+" means one or more numbers. "\]
4958 # " means a literal right-bracket. Finally the whole parenthesized expression has
4959 # a "*" suffix, meaning it can occur zero or more times.
4961 # The last part matches a colon followed by an optional space or tab. Note "t"
4962 # is converted to a literal tab inside a double quoted string. If you use a
4963 # single quoted string, you would have to type an actual tab character, and would
4964 # need to convert the double-backslashes to single backslashes.
4966 # Note: the result of this regex match against the subject is stored in the
4967 # header cache. Mutt isn't smart enough to invalidate a header cache entry based
4968 # on changing $reply_regex, so if you aren't seeing correct values in the index,
4969 # try temporarily turning off the header cache. If that fixes the problem, then

4971 # and turn the header cache back on.
4980 # If unset and you are replying to a message sent by you, NeoMutt will assume
4981 # that you want to reply to the recipients of that message rather than to
4984 # Also see the "alternates" command.
4993 # If set, when replying to a message, NeoMutt will use the address listed in the
4994 # Reply-to: header as the recipient of the reply. If unset, it will use the
4995 # address in the From: header field instead. This option is useful for reading a
4996 # mailing list that sets the Reply-To: header field to the list address and you
4997 # want to send a private message to the author of a message.
5001 # 3.334. reply_with_xorig
5006 # This variable provides a toggle. When active, the From: header will be
5007 # extracted from the current mail's 'X-Original-To:' header. This setting does
5008 # not have precedence over "reverse_real_name".
5010 # Assuming 'fast_reply' is disabled, this option will prompt the user with a
5011 # prefilled From: header.
5020 # When set, the cursor in a list will be automatically advanced to the next
5021 # (possibly undeleted) message/attachment/entry whenever a command that modifies
5022 # the current message/attachment/entry is executed.
5024 # Examples of such commands are tagging a message, deleting an entry, or saving
5029 # 3.336. resume_draft_files
5034 # If set, draft files (specified by -H on the command line) are processed
5035 # similarly to when resuming a postponed message. Recipients are not prompted
5036 # for; send-hooks are not evaluated; no alias expansion takes place; user-defined
5037 # headers and signatures are not added to the message.
5041 # 3.337. resume_edited_draft_files
5046 # If set, draft files previously edited (via -E -H on the command line) will have
5047 # $resume_draft_files automatically set when they are used as a draft file again.
5049 # The first time a draft file is saved, NeoMutt will add a header,
5050 # X-Mutt-Resume-Draft to the saved file. The next time the draft file is read in,
5051 # if NeoMutt sees the header, it will set $resume_draft_files.
5053 # This option is designed to prevent multiple signatures, user-defined headers,
5054 # and other processing effects from being made multiple times to the draft file.
5058 # 3.338. reverse_alias
5063 # This variable controls whether or not NeoMutt will display the "personal" name
5064 # from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that matches the
5065 # message's sender. For example, if you have the following alias:
5067 # alias juser abd30425@somewhere.net (Joe User)
5069 # and then you receive mail which contains the following header:
5071 # From: abd30425@somewhere.net
5073 # It would be displayed in the index menu as "Joe User" instead of
5074 # "abd30425@somewhere.net." This is useful when the person's e-mail address is
5075 # not human friendly.
5079 # 3.339. reverse_name
5084 # It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine, move the
5085 # messages to another machine, and reply to some the messages from there. If this
5086 # variable is set, the default From: line of the reply messages is built using
5087 # the address where you received the messages you are replying to if that address
5088 # matches your "alternates". If the variable is unset, or the address that would
5089 # be used doesn't match your "alternates", the From: line will use your address
5090 # on the current machine.
5092 # Also see the "alternates" command and $reverse_real_name.
5094 set reverse_name=yes
5097 # 3.340. reverse_real_name
5102 # This variable fine-tunes the behavior of the $reverse_name feature.
5104 # When it is unset, NeoMutt will remove the real name part of a matching address.
5105 # This allows the use of the email address without having to also use what the
5106 # sender put in the real name field.
5108 # When it is set, NeoMutt will use the matching address as-is.
5110 # In either case, a missing real name will be filled in afterwards using the
5111 # value of $real_name.
5115 # 3.341. rfc2047_parameters
5120 # When this variable is set, NeoMutt will decode RFC2047-encoded MIME parameters.
5121 # You want to set this variable when NeoMutt suggests you to save attachments to
5124 # =?iso-8859-1?Q?file=5F=E4=5F991116=2Ezip?=

5131 # standard, but nevertheless encountered in the wild and produced by, e.g.,

5136 # encoding specified in RFC2231.
5138 set rfc2047_parameters=yes
5141 # 3.342. save_address
5146 # If set, NeoMutt will take the sender's full address when choosing a default
5147 # folder for saving a mail. If $save_name or $force_name is set too, the
5148 # selection of the Fcc folder will be changed as well.
5157 # When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed when
5158 # closed (the exception is $spool_file which is never removed). If set, mailboxes
5159 # are never removed.

5171 # This variable controls the size of the history (per category) saved in the
5172 # $history_file file.

5175 # never be more than $history entries to select from even if more are recorded in
5178 set save_history=100
5186 # This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved. When set, a
5187 # check is made to see if a mailbox specified by the recipient address exists
5188 # (this is done by searching for a mailbox in the $folder directory with the
5189 # username part of the recipient address). If the mailbox exists, the outgoing
5190 # message will be saved to that mailbox, otherwise the message is saved to the
5193 # Also see the $force_name variable.

5213 # selectively disable scoring for certain folders when the
5214 # $score_threshold_delete variable and related are used.
5218 # 3.348. score_threshold_delete
5223 # Messages which have been assigned a score equal to or lower than the value of
5224 # this variable are automatically marked for deletion by NeoMutt. Since NeoMutt
5225 # scores are always greater than or equal to zero, the default setting of this

5245 # Messages which have been assigned a score equal to or lower than the value of
5246 # this variable are automatically marked as read by NeoMutt. Since NeoMutt scores
5247 # are always greater than or equal to zero, the default setting of this variable
5248 # will never mark a message read.

5269 # use the first character set into which the text can be converted exactly. If
5270 # your $charset is not "iso-8859-1" and recipients may not understand "UTF-8", it
5271 # is advisable to include in the list an appropriate widely used standard
5272 # character set (such as "iso-8859-2", "koi8-r" or "iso-2022-jp") either instead
5273 # of or after "iso-8859-1".
5275 # In case the text can't be converted into one of these exactly, NeoMutt uses
5276 # $charset as a fallback.
5278 set send_charset="utf-8"

5374 # By default the sidebar will show the mailbox's path, relative to the $folder
5375 # variable. This specifies the number of parent directories to hide from display
5376 # in the sidebar. For example: If a maildir is normally displayed in the sidebar
5377 # as dir1/dir2/dir3/maildir, setting sidebar_component_depth=2 will display it as

6163 # Specifies how to sort messages in the "index" menu. Valid values are:
6185 # You may optionally use the "reverse-" prefix to specify reverse sorting order,
6186 # or the "last-" prefix to sort threads based on the corresponding attribute of
6187 # the last descendant rather than the thread root. If both prefixes are in use,
6188 # "reverse-" must come before "last-". The "last-" prefix has no effect on a flat
6191 # Any ties in the primary sort are broken by $sort_aux. When $use_threads is
6192 # "threads" or "reverse", $sort controls the sorting between threads, and
6193 # $sort_aux controls the sorting within a thread.
6195 # The "date-sent" value is a synonym for "date". The "mailbox-order" value is a
6196 # synonym for "unsorted".
6198 # The values of "threads" and "reverse-threads" are legacy options, which cause
6199 # the value of $sort_aux to also control sorting between threads, and they may
6200 # not be used with the "last-" prefix. The preferred way to enable a threaded
6201 # view is via $use_threads. This variable can also be set via the <sort-mailbox>
6202 # and <sort-reverse> functions.
6204 # Note: When $use_threads is "threads", the last thread sorts to the bottom; when
6205 # it is "reversed", the last thread sorts to the top. The use of "reverse-" in
6206 # $sort swaps which end the last thread will sort to.
6208 # See the "Use Threads Feature" section for further explanation and examples,
6209 # https://neomutt.org/feature/use-threads
6219 # Specifies how the entries in the "alias" menu are sorted. The following are
6222 # • address (sort alphabetically by email address)
6224 # • alias (sort alphabetically by alias name)
6226 # • unsorted (leave in order specified in .neomuttrc)
6228 # Note: This also affects the entries of the address query menu, thus potentially
6229 # overruling the order of entries as generated by $query_command.
6238 # This provides a secondary sort for messages in the "index" menu, used when the
6239 # $sort value is equal for two messages.
6241 # When sorting by threads, this variable controls how subthreads are sorted
6242 # within a single thread (for the order between threads, see $sort). This can be
6243 # set to any value that $sort can, including with the use of "reverse-" and
6244 # "last-" prefixes, except for variations using "threads" (in that case, NeoMutt
6245 # will just use "date"). For instance,
6247 # set sort_aux=last-date-received
6249 # would mean that if a new message is received in a thread, that subthread
6250 # becomes the last one displayed (or the first, if you have "set use_threads=
6251 # reverse".) When using $use_threads, it is more common to use "last-" with $sort
6252 # and not with $sort_aux.

6260 # 3.415. sort_browser
6265 # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the entries are
6266 # sorted alphabetically. Valid values:
6268 # • alpha (alphabetically)
6270 # • count (all message count)
6274 # • desc (description)
6276 # • new (new message count)
6282 # You may optionally use the "reverse-" prefix to specify reverse sorting order
6283 # (example: "set sort_browser=reverse-date").
6285 # The "unread" value is a synonym for "new".
6294 # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with $strict_threads unset
6295 # . In that case, it changes the heuristic neomutt uses to thread messages by
6296 # subject. With $sort_re set, neomutt will only attach a message as the child of
6297 # another message by subject if the subject of the child message starts with a
6298 # substring matching the setting of $reply_regex. With $sort_re unset, neomutt
6299 # will attach the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the non-
6300 # $reply_regex parts of both messages are identical.
6304 # 3.417. spam_separator
6309 # This variable controls what happens when multiple spam headers are matched: if
6310 # unset, each successive header will overwrite any previous matches value for the
6311 # spam label. If set, each successive match will append to the previous, using
6312 # this variable's value as a separator.

6382 # 3.423. ssl_min_dh_prime_bits
6387 # This variable specifies the minimum acceptable prime size (in bits) for use in

6389 # GNUTLS library. (GnuTLS only)
6393 # 3.424. ssl_starttls
6398 # If set (the default), NeoMutt will attempt to use STARTTLS on servers
6399 # advertising the capability. When unset, NeoMutt will not attempt to use
6400 # STARTTLS regardless of the server's capabilities.
6402 # Note that STARTTLS is subject to many kinds of attacks, including the ability

6617 # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
6619 # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string if their
6620 # value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the number of flagged
6621 # messages if such messages exist, since zero is not particularly meaningful. To
6622 # optionally print a string based upon one of the above sequences, the following
6623 # construct is used:
6625 # %<sequence_char?optional_string>
6627 # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and optional_string is
6628 # the string you would like printed if sequence_char is nonzero. optional_string
6629 # may contain other sequences as well as normal text.
6631 # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of new
6632 # messages in a mailbox:
6634 # %<n?%n new messages>
6636 # You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
6638 # %<sequence_char?if_string&else_string>
6640 # If the value of sequence_char is non-zero, if_string will be expanded,
6641 # otherwise else_string will be expanded.
6643 # As another example, here is how to show either $sort and $sort_aux or
6644 # $use_threads and $sort, based on whether threads are enabled with $use_threads:
6648 # You can force the result of any printf(3)-like sequence to be lowercase by
6649 # prefixing the sequence character with an underscore ("_") sign. For example, if
6650 # you want to display the local hostname in lowercase, you would use: "%_h".
6652 # If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (":") character, NeoMutt will
6653 # replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful with
6654 # IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.

6670 # 3.438. strict_threads
6675 # If set, threading will only make use of the "In-Reply-To" and "References:"
6676 # fields when you $sort by message threads. By default, messages with the same
6677 # subject are grouped together in "pseudo threads.". This may not always be
6678 # desirable, such as in a personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated
6679 # messages with the subjects like "hi" which will get grouped together. See also
6680 # $sort_re for a less drastic way of controlling this behavior.
6682 set strict_threads=yes
6690 # When unset, NeoMutt won't stop when the user presses the terminal's susp key,
6691 # usually "^Z". This is useful if you run NeoMutt inside an xterm using a command
6692 # like "xterm -e neomutt".
6694 # On startup NeoMutt tries to detect if it is the process session leader. If so,
6695 # the default of suspend is "no" otherwise "yes". This default covers the above
6696 # mentioned use case of "xterm -e neomutt".
6700 # 3.440. text_flowed
6705 # When set, NeoMutt will generate "format=flowed" bodies with a content type of
6706 # "text/plain; format=flowed". This format is easier to handle for some mailing
6707 # software, and generally just looks like ordinary text. To actually make use of
6708 # this format's features, you'll need support in your editor.
6710 # The option only controls newly composed messages. Postponed messages, resent

6726 # before searching. If unset, messages are searched as they appear in the folder.
6728 # Users searching attachments or for non-ASCII characters should set this value
6729 # because decoding also includes MIME parsing/decoding and possible character set
6730 # conversions. Otherwise NeoMutt will attempt to match against the raw message
6731 # received (for example quoted-printable encoded or with encoded headers) which
6732 # may lead to incorrect search results.

6742 # If $strict_threads is unset, then messages may also be grouped by subject.
6743 # Unlike threading by "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" header, grouping by
6744 # subject does not imply a parent-child relation between two messages.
6746 # To determine the ancestry between messages grouped by subject, Neomutt uses
6747 # their date: only newer messages can be descendants of older ones.

6773 # Along with $read_inc, $write_inc, and $net_inc, this variable controls the
6774 # frequency with which progress updates are displayed. It suppresses updates less
6775 # than $time_inc milliseconds apart. This can improve throughput on systems with
6776 # slow terminals, or when running NeoMutt on a remote system.
6778 # Also see the "tuning" section of the manual for performance considerations.
6788 # When NeoMutt is waiting for user input either idling in menus or in an
6789 # interactive prompt, NeoMutt would block until input is present. Depending on
6790 # the context, this would prevent certain operations from working, like checking
6791 # for new mail or keeping an IMAP connection alive.
6793 # This variable controls how many seconds NeoMutt will at most wait until it
6794 # aborts waiting for input, performs these operations and continues to wait for
