3 lei-import - one-time import of messages into local store
7 lei import [OPTIONS] LOCATION [LOCATION...] [+L:LABEL]
9 lei import [OPTIONS] (--stdin|-)
13 Import messages into the local storage of L<lei(1)>. C<LOCATION> is a
14 source of messages: a directory (Maildir), a file, or a URL
15 (C<imap://>, C<imaps://>, C<nntp://>, or C<nntps://>). URLs requiring
16 authentication use L<git-credential(1)> to
17 fill in the username and password.
19 For a regular file, the C<LOCATION> must have a C<E<lt>formatE<gt>:>
20 prefix specifying one of the following formats: C<mboxrd>,
21 C<mboxcl2>, C<mboxcl>, or C<mboxo>.
29 =item --in-format=MAIL_FORMAT
31 Message input format. Unless messages are given on stdin, using a
32 format prefix with C<LOCATION> is preferred.
36 Read messages from stdin.
40 L<mbox(5)> locking method(s) to use: C<dotlock>, C<fcntl>, C<flock> or
43 Default: fcntl,dotlock
47 Add the given C<LABEL> to all messages imported, where C<LABEL>
48 is an arbitrary user-defined value consisting of lowercase and digits.
49 See L<lei-tag(1)> for more info on labels.
51 For example, specifying C<+L:inbox> applies the C<inbox> label
52 to all messages being imported.
54 May be specified multiple times to apply multiple labels.
60 Apply C<KEYWORD> to all messages being imported in addition
61 to any per-message keywords from the store (unless C<--no-kw>
62 is specified). See L<lei-tag(1)> for more info on keywords.
64 May be specified multiple times to apply multiple keywords.
70 Don't import message keywords (or "flags" in IMAP terminology).
72 =item --no-incremental
74 Import already seen IMAP and NNTP articles.
76 =item --torsocks=auto|no|yes
80 Whether to wrap L<git(1)> and L<curl(1)> commands with L<torsocks(1)>.
84 =item --proxy=PROTOCOL://HOST[:PORT]
86 Use the specified proxy (e.g., C<socks5h://0:9050>).
