# git-imap-send(1) Manual Page

## NAME

git-imap-send - Dump a mailbox from stdin into an imap folder

## SYNOPSIS

git-imap-send

## DESCRIPTION

This command uploads a mailbox generated with git-format-patch into an imap drafts folder. This allows patches to be sent as other email is sent with mail clients that cannot read mailbox files directly.

Typical usage is something like:

git-format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git-imap-send

## CONFIGURATION

git-imap-send requires the following values in the repository configuration file (shown with examples):

    [imap]
        Folder = "INBOX.Drafts"

    [imap]
        Tunnel = "ssh -q user@server.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"

    [imap]
        Host = imap.server.com
        User = bob
        Pass = pwd
        Port = 143

## BUGS
