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.
