MAILESTD(8)		     System Manager's Manual		     MAILESTD(8)

NAME
     mailestd -- mailest daemon

SYNOPSIS
     mailestd [-dnh] [-S suffix] [-f file] [maildir]

DESCRIPTION
     The mailestd is a daemon which provides the "search" functionality for mail
     messages  using  and  managing  a Hyper Estraier's database.  Currently the
     mailestd can be use as a "search" backend of the "Mew".  To use the mailest
     for the search backend for the Mew program, see the EXAMPLE section in mew-
     mailest(1).

     The options are as follows:

     -d      Increase debug level.  Do not daemonize and log to the stderr.

     -n      Do not actually start the daemon.	 But  checks  the  configuration
	     file.

     -S suffix

     -f file
	     Use  the  file  as  the  configuration  file instead of the default
	     ${HOME}/Mail/mailestd.conf.  If the maildir is specified  together,
	     related path mailestd.conf to the maildir is used.

     maildir
	     The base directory instead of the default ${HOME}/Mail.  The direc-
	     tories below the maildir are the targets for the search functional-
	     ity of the mailestd.

     -h      Show the usage.
