![release bee](/images/0-3-0-bee.png){.float_left_img}
## changelog:
- IMAP support. Unpolished and experimental.
- [xbiff](https://linux.die.net/man/1/xbiff) support
- added portable Makefile for installation
- added manual page for the configuration file [meli.conf(5)](/documentation.html#meli.conf)
- various configuration changes can be seen in meli.conf(5)
- add conversations thread mailing view: a one entry per thread listing, but entries are less compact; they take 3 rows. Pager opens on the right. Intended for big terminals.
- added folder operations (create, delete, rename)
- added special use semantics for mailboxes: you can specify which mailboxes are special, eg specify `INBOX/Sent` as the `Sent` folder, `INBOX/Drafts` as `Drafts`, etc. This is optional as it in most cases it can be inferred by the names.
- add folder subscriptions: don't load all folders on startup, only the ones the user has specified
## status
As before, this is a rough around the edges release. I'm working on a lot of stuff simultaneously and I can't stop and improve something. Please understand.
Consider trying this release and file bug reports for any problems or suggestions you have. Documentation can be found in the installed manpages, `man` [meli](/documentation.html#meli) and `man` [meli.conf](/documentation.html#meli.conf). You will unfortunately have to sign up in meli's [gitea instance](https://git.meli.delivery/meli/meli/) to file bugs though. I am considering writing a bot to transfer mails from a bug report mailing list to gitea via its API.
