okay bestie, welcome to the <code>smd-pull</code> page of the Sync Mail Dir (smd) manual π this one's a whole vibe and it's gonna change your maildir life, no cap.
πΈ NAME πΈ
smd-pull β syncs the local mail dir letting the remote one untouched π«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
smd-pull [-d|--dry-run] [-v|--verbose] [-s|--show-tags] [-t|--template-only]
[-n|--no-delete] [endpoint]
π DESCRIPTION π
So here's the tea, bestie: smd-pull does literally all the changes that got done on the remote maildir, and it does them to your local maildir. It's giving "catch me up to speed" energy. π
The remote maildir stays completely untouched. Not a single hair on its head disturbed. If you wanna be the one pushing changes to the remote, that's a whole different function, and you want smd-push(1) for that. Periodt.
Also, if you're sitting there like "wait, how do I even configure this thing" β go read smd-config(5) for the configuration file format, it's got the whole layout. β¨
