meli - Meli Mail User Agent. Meli is the Greek word for honey.
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 _) and can be moved with the X setting. [SCROLLING and OPENING, ACCOUNT / FOLDER SETTINGS]
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.
meli uses the following parts of the XDG standard:
XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config/
XDG_CACHE_HOME defaults to ~/.cache/
