NAME

mailestd — mailest daemon

SYNOPSIS

mailestd

[-dnh] [-S suffix] [-f file] [maildir]

DESCRIPTION

The mailestd is a daemon which provides the “search” functionality for mail messages using and managing a Hyper Estraier's database. Currently the mailestd can be use as a “search” backend of the “Mew”. To use the mailest for the search backend for the Mew program, see the EXAMPLE section in mew-mailest(1). The options are as follows:

 

 

-d

Increase debug level. Do not daemonize and log to the stderr.

 

 

-n

Do not actually start the daemon. But checks the configuration file.

 

 

-S suffix

 

-f file

Use the file as the configuration file instead of the default ${HOME}/Mail/mailestd.conf. If the maildir is specified together, related path mailestd.conf to the maildir is used.

 

 

maildir

The base directory instead of the default ${HOME}/Mail. The directories below the maildir are the targets for the search functionality of the mailestd.

 

 

-h

Show the usage.
