Configuring mailpile

Clean install

Once you've got Mailpile running on your machine, from Mailpile's command line interface, do the following:

1. setup -- run the setup command to instantiate the absolute basics
2. Point your web browser at http://localhost:33411
3. Use the GUI installer that you see from accessing the above URL

Note: You can add multiple accounts by replacing the 0 in the profile variable name with higher numbers.

Running from an alternative config directory

By default, Mailpile reads its config from ~/.mailpile

You can override this by setting the $MAILPILE_HOME environment variable, for example:

$ export MAILPILE_HOME=/home/user/.config/mailpile

or for a single run:

$ MAILPILE_HOME=/home/user/.mailpile-alternative ./mp
