* NAME

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*mu [common-options] init [options]*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*mu init* is the subcommand for setting up the mu message database. After *mu init*
|
|
|
|
has completed, you can run *mu index*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* INIT OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** -m, --maildir=<maildir>
|
|
|
|
starts searching at =<maildir>=. By default, *mu* uses whatever the *MAILDIR*
|
|
|
|
environment variable is set to; if it is not set, it tries =~/Maildir= if it
|
|
|
|
already exists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** --my-address=<my-email-address>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
specifies that some e-mail addresses are 'my-address' (the option can be used
|
|
|
|
multiple times). Any message in which at least one of the contact fields
|
|
|
|
contains such an address is considered a 'personal' messages; this can then be
|
|
|
|
used for filtering in *mu-find(1)*, *mu-cfind(1)* and *mu4e*, e.g. to filter-out
|
|
|
|
mailing list messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=<my-email-address>= can be either a plain e-mail address (such as
|
2022-12-30 10:13:00 +01:00
|
|
|
*foo@example.com*), or a basic PCRE regular-expression (see *pcre(3)* for details),
|
|
|
|
wrapped in */* (such as =/foo-.*@example\\.com/=). Depending on your shell, the
|
2022-12-31 08:40:00 +01:00
|
|
|
argument may need to be quoted.
