Accounts

Account model

mxr distinguishes between:

• Runtime accounts: what the daemon is actually running now
• Config-backed accounts: editable account definitions, mainly IMAP/SMTP

The TUI Accounts page is built from runtime inventory, not from config file entries alone.

TUI accounts page

Open it with:

• Ctrl-p then Open Accounts Page

Actions:

• n: new IMAP/SMTP account
• Enter: edit selected account
• t: test selected account
• d: set default account
• r: refresh runtime account inventory

The page shows:

• Runtime-only Gmail accounts
• Editable IMAP/SMTP accounts
• Default-account state
• Provider kind and enabled state

CLI account actions

mxr accounts
mxr accounts add gmail
mxr accounts add imap
mxr accounts add smtp
mxr accounts show ACCOUNT
mxr accounts test ACCOUNT

Compose behavior

Compose, reply, and forward resolve the sender from the selected/default runtime account. That is the same source the TUI Accounts page shows.

Multi-account notes

• Sync can run per account.
• The daemon tracks account health in status and diagnostics.
• Changing editable accounts in the TUI triggers daemon reload so the runtime view updates without a restart.
