Ability to synchronize multiple accounts at once

[codethief]

The title says it all. :)

Speaking of defaults, I learned the above through experimenting. So far it seem it's not really documented what exactly default = true does(?)

Side side note: If you accidentally set default = true for several accounts, neverest synchronize seems to randomly pick one of those accounts with every call(?)

Commands doctor, configure and synchronize take an optional account name as parameter. If you don't give one, they will take the first account found with default = true.

If you accidentally set default = true for several accounts, neverest synchronize seems to randomly pick one of those accounts with every call(?)

I would not be surprised, because it uses a hash map internally (which does not keep order). It could be better to throw an error in case multiple accounts are set as default.

Regarding your initial request, I would rather introduce a new flag --all:

• neverest sync synchronizes the (unique) default account
• neverest sync example synchronizes account example
• neverest sync example1 example2 synchronizes accounts example1 and example2
• neverest sync --all synchronizes all accounts

What do you think?

What exactly is the use case for default=true? Is there really a case where I have multiple accounts, don't want to sync all of them, and also don't know / don't want to specify the name on the command line of the account I want to sync?

My use case is a perfect example (and I believe it will be the case for most of people). I have a main account at Posteo which I daily use. I set default = true. All my commands do not require --account posteo. I also have secondary accounts (either work account or old personal account like Gmail), which I don't use every day. When I want to use them, I need to put the --account gmail.

I also use the Emacs plugin. When I spawn the interface, it shows me envelopes from my main account. If I need to check another account, then I need to switch.
