Hi,
I've been using mutt for ages, but saw meli on lobste.rs and thought I'd
give it a try.
A simplified view of my setup is as follows.
I use isync [0] to synchronise my mail via IMAP to the local filesystem.
This gives me a bunch of individual maildirs in a directory of my
choosing (let's say ~/Mail). Under this directory we have maildirs for
INBOX, Sent, Drafts etc.
With meli, I was expecting to use:
---8<---
root_folder = "/home/edd/Mail"
--->8---
But this gives:
"/home/edd/Mail is not a valid maildir folder"
Meli is right that this isn't a maildir. It's a directory of maildirs.
Can meli use such a directory structure?
Then admitting defeat on that, I pointed the root dir to one of the
individual maildirs, like this:
---8<---
root_folder = "/home/edd/Mail/INBOX"
subscribed_folders = ["INBOX"]
--->8---
Using this configuration, the meli UI starts, but reports the maildir
empty. I'm not sure why. Is there any logging facility or something like
that?
I'm using today's master on OpenBSD-current. (I had to downgrade the nix
dependency in Cargo.toml due to [1]).
Thanks
