Standard IMAP configuration. Examples with some well known email clients.

Thunderbird

K9Mail

Mutt

Create a config file (~/.muttrc):

set imap_user = alice
set imap_pass = p455w0rd
set folder = imap://localhost:1143
set spoolfile = +INBOX
set ssl_starttls = no
set ssl_force_tls = no
mailboxes = +INBOX
bind index G imap-fetch-mail

And then simply launch mutt. The first time nothing will happen as Aerogramme must process your incoming emails. Just ask mutt to refresh its view by pressing G (for Get).

Now, you should see some emails:

And you can read them:
