2. Next, append a `[local]` section pointing to the wrapper defined
above:
$ cat >>${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/interimap/config <<-EOF
+
[local]
type = tunnel
command = exec ~/.local/bin/dovecot-imap
-
EOF
+ (The command will be passed to `` `/bin/sh -c` `` as it contains
+ the metacharacter `~`. We use the `exec` built-in utility so the

3. And finally append a `[remote]` section with your account
information at `imap.example.org` (adapt the values accordingly):
$ cat >>${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/interimap/config <<-EOF
+
[remote]
type = imaps
host = imap.example.net
