💖 mbox 💖

ok so bestie, you've found yourself in the <pink>General Commands Manual</pink> and this is the page for mbox(1) — the mbox-specific API. come sit with me, this one's short and sweet and honestly kinda iconic 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mbox — the mbox-specific API. that's it, that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mbox [-h|--help] <subcommands>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

mbox-specific API. literally what it says 💅

okay so here's the tea: this command gives you access to the raw mbox API. and what does that mean? it means

  • one file per mailbox
  • flags stored in the Status, X-Status and X-Keywords headers

that's the whole model, bestie. one file = one mailbox. flags live in the headers. periodt. 🫶

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -h, --help — print help. and note that if you tack on -h all by itself, you get the summary version instead 💖

👑 SUBCOMMANDS 👑

okay this is where it gets good — mbox has a whole little family of subcommands, each with their own manpage. let me introduce you 🎀

  • mbox-create(1) — create an mbox ✨
  • mbox-rename(1) — rename an mbox 🦋
  • mbox-delete(1) — delete an mbox 💀
  • mbox-list(1) — list mbox files 🍓
  • mbox-message(1) — manage mbox messages 💌
  • mbox-flag(1) — manage mbox flags 🚩
  • mbox-help(1) — print this message, or the help of the given subcommand(s) 🫶
ngl bestie, maybe read a couple of those subcommand pages before you go wild — they're right there and they do all the actual work 💅

okay that's the page!! this little cutie came to you from <purple>mbox(1)</purple>, filed under the <pink>General Commands Manual</pink> — same mbox name up top, same mbox name at the bottom, no date on this one but she's timeless anyway. go be the main character of your mailbox 🧚💜
