LEI-INDEX(1)               public-inbox user manual               LEI-INDEX(1)

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.
