mbsync

This configuration relies on pass to retrieve passwords from a database of gnupg encrypted files.

mbsync's default behavior is to look for a configuration file in $HOME/.mbsyncrc, but this has been modified by aliasing mbsync to the same command with an additional --config flag pointing to the new location.
