.SH NAME
lei\-import \- one\-time import of messages into local store
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
lei import [OPTIONS] LOCATION [LOCATION...] [+L:LABEL]
.PP
lei import [OPTIONS] (\-\-stdin|\-)
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Import messages into the local storage of \fBlei\fR\|(1).  \f(CW\*(C`LOCATION\*(C'\fR is a
source of messages: a directory (Maildir), a file, or a URL
(\f(CW\*(C`imap://\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`imaps://\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`nntp://\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`nntps://\*(C'\fR).  URLs requiring
authentication use \fBgit\-credential\fR\|(1) to
fill in the username and password.
.PP
For a regular file, the \f(CW\*(C`LOCATION\*(C'\fR must have a \f(CW\*(C`<format>:\*(C'\fR
prefix specifying one of the following formats: \f(CW\*(C`mboxrd\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`mboxcl2\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`mboxcl\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`mboxo\*(C'\fR.

.IX Item "-F MAIL_FORMAT"
.PD 0
.IP \-\-in\-format=MAIL_FORMAT 4
.IX Item "--in-format=MAIL_FORMAT"
.PD
Message input format.  Unless messages are given on stdin, using a
format prefix with \f(CW\*(C`LOCATION\*(C'\fR is preferred.
.IP \-\-stdin 4
.IX Item "--stdin"
Read messages from stdin.
.IP \-\-lock 4
.IX Item "--lock"
\&\fBmbox\fR\|(5) locking method(s) to use: \f(CW\*(C`dotlock\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`fcntl\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`flock\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`none\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
Default: fcntl,dotlock
.IP +L:LABEL 4
.IX Item "+L:LABEL"
Add the given \f(CW\*(C`LABEL\*(C'\fR to all messages imported, where \f(CW\*(C`LABEL\*(C'\fR
is an arbitrary user-defined value consisting of lowercase and digits.
See \fBlei\-tag\fR\|(1) for more info on labels.
.Sp
For example, specifying \f(CW\*(C`+L:inbox\*(C'\fR applies the \f(CW\*(C`inbox\*(C'\fR label
to all messages being imported.
.Sp
May be specified multiple times to apply multiple labels.
.Sp
Default: none
.IP +kw:KEYWORD 4
.IX Item "+kw:KEYWORD"
Apply \f(CW\*(C`KEYWORD\*(C'\fR to all messages being imported in addition
to any per-message keywords from the store (unless \f(CW\*(C`\-\-no\-kw\*(C'\fR
is specified).  See \fBlei\-tag\fR\|(1) for more info on keywords.
.Sp
May be specified multiple times to apply multiple keywords.
.Sp
Default: none
.IP \-\-no\-kw 4
