NAME

6       incm - Incorporating new mails for Mew
7

SYNOPSIS

9       incm [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The incm utility incorporates new mails from the mbox or the maildir to
13       Mew's inbox folder.
14
15       The options are as follows:
16
17       -a      Retrieve all mails from maildir/{cur,new} for maildir.
18
19       -b      Backup mails.   mbox:  No  truncate  mbox  file.   maildir:  To
20               maildir/cur directory.
21
22       -c      Use  the Content-Length: field, instead of the "From " line, as
23               a mail separator for mbox.
24
25       -d path Path to mbox/maildir.  If path is a file, mbox is  assumed.  If
26               path is a directory, maildir is assumed.
27
28       -m path The same as the -d option.
29
30       -s      Read one mail from stdin instead of mbox/maildir.
31
32       -i inboxdir
33               A path to the inbox directory.
34
35       -u      Don't touch ".mew-mtime".
36
37       -f      Preserve Unix From (Envelope Sender) line in mbox case.
38
39       -p mode Specify file mode that creates in mbox case.
40
41       -o      Use the suffix when creating messages.
42
43       -x suffix
44               Use this suffix.
45
46       -h      Display this help message.
47
48       -v      Display the version.
49
50   mbox
51       For mbox, the mail separator is "From " in the beginning of lines.  The
52       incm utility does not convert ">From " to "From " in the  beginning  of
53       lines in the body.  On Solaris, Content-Length: should be used with the
54       -c option to tell the end of mail.
55
56       To lock mbox, a  lock  file("<user>.lock"),  flock()  or  lockf(),  and
57       open(O_EXLOCK) are used.
58
59   maildir
60       For maildir, no lock and no separator are necessary.
61
62       Consider the following situation:
63               cur/{1,2}
64               new/{3,4}
65
66       Executing incm without the options results in:
67               cur/{1,2}
68               new/{}
69               to inbox: {3,4}
70
71       Executing incm with the -a option results in:
72               cur/{}
73               new/{}
74               to inbox: {1,2,3,4}
75
76       Executing incm with the -b option results in:
77               cur/{1,2,3,4}
78               new/{}
79               to inbox: {3,4}
80
81       Executing incm with the -a option and the -b option results in:
82               cur/{1,2,3,4}
83               new/{}
84               to inbox: {1,2,3,4}
85       So,  if  both  options  are  specified, messages are retrieved multiple
86       times.
