# NAME
aerc - the world's best email client
# SYNOPSIS
_aerc_ [-v]
For a guided tutorial, use *:help tutorial* from aerc, or *man aerc-tutorial*
from your terminal.
# OPTIONS
*-v*
Prints the installed version of aerc and exits.
# RUNTIME COMMANDS
To execute a command, press ':' to bring up the command interface. Commands may
also be bound to keys, see *aerc-config*(5) for details. In some contexts, such
as the terminal emulator, ';' is used to bring up the command interface.
Different commands work in different contexts, depending on the kind of tab you
have selected.
## GLOBAL COMMANDS

directory, or the specified command.
*prev-tab* [n], *next-tab* [n]
Cycles to the previous or next tab in the list, repeating n times
(default: 1).
*quit*
Exits aerc.
## MESSAGE COMMANDS
These commands are valid in any context that has a selected message (e.g. the
message list, the message in the message viewer, etc).
*archive* <scheme>
Moves the selected message to the archive. The available schemes are:
*flat*: No special structure, all messages in the archive directory
*year*: Messages are stored in folders per year
*month*: Messages are stored in folders per year and subfolders per month
*copy* <target>
Copies the selected message to the target folder.
*delete*

*move* <target>

*unread*

## MESSAGE LIST COMMANDS
*cf* <folder>

times (default: 1).
*next* <n>[%], *prev-message* <n>[%]

a percentage, the percentage is applied to the number of messages shown on
screen and the cursor advances that far.
*pipe* <cmd>
Downloads and pipes the selected message into the given shell command, and
opens a new terminal tab to show the result.
*select* <n>
Selects the nth message in the message list (and scrolls it into view if
necessary).

and opens a new terminal tab to show the result.

*close*
Closes the message viewer.
## TERMINAL COMMANDS

# LOGGING
Aerc does not log by default, but collecting log output can be useful for
troubleshooting and reporting issues. Redirecting stdout when invoking aerc will
write log messages to that file:
$ aerc > log
