backend.port = 993
backend.encryption.type = "tls"
backend.login = "user@example.com"

```

## Password Options

### Raw password (testing only, not recommended)

```toml
backend.auth.raw = "your-password"
```

### Password from command (recommended)

```toml
backend.auth.cmd = "pass show email/imap"
# backend.auth.cmd = "security find-generic-password -a user@example.com -s imap -w"
```
