If it doesn't exist, you will be asked if you want to create one along with a sample configuration. The sample configuration ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/meli/config) includes comments with the basic settings required for setting up accounts allowing you to copy and edit right away. .Pp At any time, you can press `?` to show a searchable list of all available actions and shortcuts, along with every possible setting and command that your version supports. .Pp The main visual navigation tool is the left-side sidebar. The menu's visibility can be toggled (default shortcut `). .Pp The view into each folder has 3 modes: plain, threaded and compact. Plain views each mail indvidually, threaded shows their thread relationship visually, and compact includes one entry per thread of emails. .Pp ^^ .-=-=-=-. ^^ ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ ^^ ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ ( `-=-=-=-(@)-=-=-` ) ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-`) ^^ ^^ (`-=-=-=-=-`) `-=-=-=-=-` ^^ .Sh EXECUTE mode Commands are issued in EXECUTE mode, by default started with the space character and exited with Escape key. .Bl -tag -width "subsort [subject/date] [asc/desc]" .It set plain/threaded/compact # set the way mailboxes are displayed .It sort [subject/date] [asc/desc] .It subsort [subject/date] [asc/desc] # this only sorts the first level of replies. .It close # closes closeable tabs .It go n # where n is a mailbox prefixed with the n number for the current account .It toggle_thread_snooze # don't issue notifications for thread under cursor in thread listing .It filter STRING # filter mailbox with STRING key.
