* user configurable keyboard maps
* customizable colour and layout themes
* python hooks to react on events and do custom formatting
* forward/reply/group-reply of emails
* printing/piping of mails and threads

------------------------------
Have a look at the [user manual][docs] for installation notes, advanced usage,
customization, hacking guides and [frequently asked questions][FAQ].
We also collect user-contributed hooks and hacks in a [wiki][wiki].Most of the developers hang out in [`#alot` on the libera.chat IRC server](https://web.libera.chat/#alot), feel free to ask questions or make suggestions there.
You are welcome to open issues or pull-requests on the github page.Basic Usage
-----------
The arrow keys, `page-up/down`, `j`, `k` and `Space` can be used to move the focus.
`Escape` cancels prompts and `Enter` selects. Hit `:` at any time and type in commands
to the prompt.The interface shows one buffer at a time, you can use `Tab` and `Shift-Tab` to switch
between them, close the current buffer with `d` and list them all with `;`.The buffer type or *mode* (displayed at the bottom left) determines which prompt commands
are available. Usage information on any command can be listed by typing `help YOURCOMMAND`
to the prompt; The key bindings for the current mode are listed upon pressing `?`.
