lei index [Options] FOLDER

Similar to lei-import(1), but does not store a copy of messages into lei/store.

This command only makes sense for messages stored in Maildir folders.  Other folder types may be supported in the future (they can all be indexed, but the message isn't automatically retrieved by lei-q(1) or lei-lcat(1)).

Combined with lei-q(1), lei index allows Maildir users to have similar functionality to mairix(1) by not duplicating messages into lei/store.

Occasional invocations of lei-refresh-mail-sync --all=local are recommended to keep indexed messages retrievable.

-F MAIL_FORMAT

--in-format=MAIL_FORMAT

There is currently no need for this option.  It will support mh, eventually.  For now, the default (and only supported) format is maildir.  When IMAP and NNTP support are fleshed out, those formats will be inferred from their URLs.

Default: maildir

-q

--quiet
