=head1 NAME

lei-import - one-time import of messages into local store

=head1 SYNOPSIS

lei import [OPTIONS] LOCATION [LOCATION...] [+L:LABEL]

lei import [OPTIONS] (--stdin|-)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Import messages into the local storage of L<lei(1)>
(aka L<leiE<sol>store|lei-store-format(5)>).  C<LOCATION> is a
source of messages: a directory (Maildir), a file, or a URL
(C<imap://>, C<imaps://>, C<nntp://>, or C<nntps://>).  URLs requiring
authentication use L<git-credential(1)> to
fill in the username and password.

For a regular file, the C<LOCATION> must have a C<E<lt>formatE<gt>:>
prefix specifying one of the following formats: C<mboxrd>,
C<mboxcl2>, C<mboxcl>, or C<mboxo>.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item -F MAIL_FORMAT

=item --in-format=MAIL_FORMAT

Message input format.  Unless messages are given on stdin, using a
format prefix with C<LOCATION> is preferred.

=item --stdin

Read messages from stdin.

=item --lock

L<mbox(5)> locking method(s) to use: C<dotlock>, C<fcntl>, C<flock> or
C<none>.

=item +L:LABEL

Add the given C<LABEL> to all messages imported, where C<LABEL>
is an arbitrary user-defined value consisting of lowercase and digits.

For example, specifying C<+L:inbox> applies the C<inbox> label
to all messages being imported.

May be specified multiple times to apply multiple labels.

Default: none

=item +kw:KEYWORD

to any per-message keywords from the store (unless C<--no-kw>

May be specified multiple times to apply multiple keywords.

Default: none
