NAME
     meli - Meli Mail User Agent. – Meli is the Greek word for honey.

SYNOPSIS
     meli

DESCRIPTION
     Experimental terminal mail client

STARTING WITH meli
     When launched for the first time, meli will search for its configuration
     directory ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/meli/). If it doesn't exist, you will be
     asked if you want to create one along with a sample configuration. The
     sample configuration ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/meli/config) includes comments
     with the basic settings required for setting up accounts allowing you to
     copy and edit right away.

     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.

     The main visual navigation tool is the left-side sidebar. The menu's
     visibility can be toggled (default shortcut `).

     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.

              ^^      .-=-=-=-.  ^^
          ^^        (`-=-=-=-=-`)         ^^
                  (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-`)  ^^         ^^
            ^^   (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`)   ^^
                ( `-=-=-=-(@)-=-=-` )      ^^
                (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`)  ^^
                (`-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-`)          ^^
