LEI-FORGET-MAIL-SYNC(1)

💅 lei-forget-mail-sync — ok so we're clearing sync info

hey bestie, welcome to the public-inbox user manual page for lei-forget-mail-sync(1). yes the name is a mouthful, no you're not misreading it, and yes it does exactly what it says on the tin 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

lei-forget-mail-sync — forget sync information for a mail folder. that's it. that's the whole gig 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lei forget-mail-sync [OPTIONS] LOCATION [LOCATION...]

note the LOCATION [LOCATION...] bestie — you can absolutely hand it more than one 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe: this forgets synchronization information for LOCATION, which is an IMAP or Maildir folder. poof. gone. memory wiped 🧚

⚠️ important, don't skip this: this won't delete any messages on the filesystem. the messages stay exactly where they are, we're just forgetting the sync info. no cap.

but here's the part where you gotta pay attention 👀 — if you're using lei-index(1) without lei-import(1), you'll be left with dangling references in search results. literally just hanging there. so like... know that going in 😭
