+git-imap-send(1)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-imap-send - Send a collection of patches from stdin to 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 when using mail clients that cannot read mailbox
+files directly.
+
+Typical usage is something like:
+
+git format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git imap-send
+
+
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+
+To use the tool, imap.folder and either imap.tunnel or imap.host must be set
+to appropriate values.
+
+Variables
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+imap.folder::
+ The folder to drop the mails into, which is typically the Drafts
+ folder. For example: "INBOX.Drafts", "INBOX/Drafts" or
+ "[Gmail]/Drafts". Required to use imap-send.
+
+imap.tunnel::
+ Command used to setup a tunnel to the IMAP server through which
+ commands will be piped instead of using a direct network connection
+ to the server. Required when imap.host is not set to use imap-send.
+
+imap.host::
+ A URL identifying the server. Use a `imap://` prefix for non-secure
+ connections and a `imaps://` prefix for secure connections.
+ Ignored when imap.tunnel is set, but required to use imap-send
+ otherwise.
+
+imap.user::
+ The username to use when logging in to the server.
+
+imap.password::
+ The password to use when logging in to the server.
+
+imap.port::
+ An integer port number to connect to on the server.
+ Defaults to 143 for imap:// hosts and 993 for imaps:// hosts.
+ Ignored when imap.tunnel is set.
+
+imap.sslverify::
+ A boolean to enable/disable verification of the server certificate
+ used by the SSL/TLS connection. Default is `true`. Ignored when
+ imap.tunnel is set.
+
+Examples
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Using tunnel mode:
+
+..........................
+[imap]
+ folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
+ tunnel = "ssh -q -C user@example.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"
+..........................
+
+Using direct mode:
+
+.........................
+[imap]
+ folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
+ host = imap://imap.example.com
+ user = bob
+ pass = p4ssw0rd
+..........................
+
+Using direct mode with SSL:
+
+.........................
+[imap]
+ folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
+ host = imaps://imap.example.com
+ user = bob
+ pass = p4ssw0rd
+ port = 123
+ sslverify = false
+..........................
