NAME

6       lei-index - index messages without importing them into lei/store
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lei index [OPTIONS] FOLDER
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Similar to lei-import(1), but does not store a copy of messages into
13       "lei/store".
14
15       This command only makes sense for messages stored in Maildir folders.
16       Other folder types may be supported in the future (they can all be
17       indexed, but the message isn't automatically retrieved by lei-q(1) or
18       lei-lcat(1)).
19
20       Combined with lei-q(1), "lei index" allows Maildir users to have
21       similar functionality to mairix(1) by not duplicating messages into
22       "lei/store".
23
24       Occasional invocations of "lei-refresh-mail-sync --all=local" are
25       recommended to keep indexed messages retrievable.
26

OPTIONS

28       -F MAIL_FORMAT
29       --in-format=MAIL_FORMAT
30           There is currently no need for this option.  It will support "mh",
31           eventually.  For now, the default (and only supported) format is
32           "maildir".  When IMAP and NNTP support are fleshed out, those
33           formats will be inferred from their URLs.
34
35           Default: "maildir"
36
37       -q
38       --quiet
39           Suppress feedback messages.
