NAME

6       lei - local email interface

SYNOPSIS

9       lei [OPTIONS] COMMAND
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lei is a command-line tool for importing and searching email,
13       regardless of whether it is from a personal mailbox or a public-inbox.
14       lei supports a local, writable store built on top of
15       public-inbox-v2-format(5) and public-inbox-extindex(1).  lei-q(1)
16       provides an interface for querying messages across the lei store and
17       read-only local and remote "externals" (inboxes and external indices).
18
19       Warning: lei is still in its early stages and may destroy mail.  Be
20       sure to have backups of destinations lei writes to.
21
22       Available in public-inbox 1.7.0+.
23

OPTIONS

25       -c NAME=VALUE
26           Override configuration "NAME" to "VALUE".
27
28       -C DIR
29           Change current working directory to the specified directory before
30           running the command.  This option can be given before or after
31           "COMMAND" and is accepted by all lei subcommands except
32           lei-daemon-kill(1).
