NAME
meli - Meli Mail User Agent. – Meli is the Greek word for honey.
SYNOPSIS
meli
DESCRIPTION
Experimental terminal mail client
STARTING WITH meli
When launched for the first time, meli will search for its configuration
directory ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/meli/). If it doesn't exist, you will be
asked if you want to create one along with a sample configuration. The
sample configuration ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/meli/config) includes comments
with the basic settings required for setting up accounts allowing you to
copy and edit right away.
At any time, you can press `?` to show a searchable list of all available
actions and shortcuts, along with every possible setting and command that
your version supports.
The main visual navigation tool is the left-side sidebar. The menu's
visibility can be toggled (default shortcut `).
The view into each folder has 3 modes: plain, threaded and compact. Plain
views each mail indvidually, threaded shows their thread relationship
visually, and compact includes one entry per thread of emails.
