NAME

       lei-index - index messages without importing them into lei/store

SYNOPSIS

       lei index [OPTIONS] FOLDER

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -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
           Suppress feedback messages.
