DESCRIPTION


Alot is a terminal-based mail user agent for the notmuch mail system. It features a
modular and command prompt driven interface to provide a full MUA experience as an
alternative to the Emacs mode shipped with notmuch.

USAGE


The arrow keys, page-up/down, j, k and Space can be used to move the focus. Escape
cancels prompts and Enter selects. Hit : at any time and type in commands to the prompt.

The interface shows one buffer at a time, you can use Tab and Shift-Tab to switch between
them, close the current buffer with d and list them all with ;.

The buffer type or mode (displayed at the bottom left) determines which prompt commands
are available. Usage information on any command can be listed by typing help YOURCOMMAND
to the prompt; The key bindings for the current mode are listed upon pressing ?.
