Help & Troubleshooting

Using multiple instances

If you have multiple accounts or directories you want to track for new mails, just add multiple maildir instances to your config.yaml:

- name: maildir
  config:
    label: "home"
    path: /home/aecepoglu/mail/inbox
- name: maildir
  config:
    label: "work"
    path: /home/aecepoglu/mail/work

bad_path error

You will see this error if your maildir path is wrong. Check the folder exists and is accessible
