💌 LEI-REFRESH-MAIL-SYNC(1) 💌

ok so bestie, welcome to the public-inbox user manual — this page is lei-refresh-mail-sync, and honestly? it's giving "quiet little cleanup crew that saves your whole archive" energy. 🧹✨

✨ NAME ✨

lei-refresh-mail-sync — refresh sync info with Maildir, IMAP 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lei refresh-mail-sync --all[=<remote|local>]

lei refresh-mail-sync MFOLDER [MFOLDER...]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: lei refresh-mail-sync is literally here to keep old messages that got indexed with lei-index(1) retrievable when Maildir flags change a filename. like, flags move around, filenames mutate, and your index is over there like 😭 — this command fixes that vibe. it also prunes invalid entries for messages that no longer exist in a Maildir. bye bye ghosts 👻

it's also useful for making sure lei-export-kw(1) can propagate keyword (flag) changes to Maildirs and IMAP folders. so like, your flag changes actually make it out into the world. 💅

and the best part? it only needs read-only access to Maildirs and IMAP folders — it will not attempt to write to them at all. not even a little bit. no cap. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --all — refresh all local Maildirs and remote IMAP folders. the whole collection. go off, king 👑
  • --all=local — refresh all local Maildirs only, bestie 🏠
  • --all=remote — refresh all remote IMAP folders only, bestie ☁️
