| INTRO to meli
+----------------------------------------------------------------------

meli aims for configurability, extensibility with sane defaults, and
modern practices. It is a mail client for both casual and power users of
the terminal.

A variety of email workflows and software stacks should be usable with
meli.  Integrate e-mail storage, sync, tagging system, SMTP client,
contact management and editor of your choice to replace the defaults.

* there's no support for searching through all email directly, you'd
  have to create a mailbox with a notmuch query that returns everything
  and search inside that mailbox.
