+Starting ''davmail'' automatically on login requires a systemd service on linux, or a Launch Agent on MacOS. For example, I added the following to ''~/Library/LaunchAgents'':
+<code>
+<plist version="1.0">
+  <dict>
+    <key>Label</key>
+    <string>davmail</string>
+    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
