First sync

Start the daemon

For development:

mxr daemon --foreground

In another terminal:

mxr status

Open the TUI

mxr

If the daemon is not already running, mxr starts it.

Trigger sync

mxr sync
mxr sync --status
mxr status --watch

Verify local data

mxr search "label:inbox" --format ids
mxr labels
mxr thread THREAD_ID

What to expect in the TUI

• Left sidebar: system labels, user labels, saved searches
• Center list: threads by default
• Right pane: preview or thread view
• Ctrl-p: command palette
• ?: full help modal
• /: inline mailbox search

If something looks wrong

mxr doctor --check
mxr events --format json
mxr logs --level error
mxr bug-report --stdout
