Pixelated User Agent Maintenance
================================
## Overview
The command line tool pixelated-maintenace allows you to run some common tasks, mostly related to soledad.
```
usage: pixelated-maintenance [-h] [--debug] [--dispatcher file]
[--dispatcher-stdin] [-c <configfile>]
[--home HOME] [-lc <leap-provider.crt>]
[-lf <leap provider certificate fingerprint>]
{reset,load-mails,dump-soledad,sync} ...
pixelated maintenance
positional arguments:
{reset,load-mails,dump-soledad,sync}
commands
reset reset account command
load-mails load mails into account
dump-soledad dump the soledad database
sync sync the soledad database
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--debug DEBUG mode.
--dispatcher file run in organization mode, the credentials will be read
from specified file
--dispatcher-stdin run in organization mode, the credentials will be read
from stdin
-c <configfile>, --config <configfile>
use specified file for credentials (for test purposes
only)
--home HOME The folder where the user agent stores its data.
Defaults to ~/.leap
-lc <leap-provider.crt>, --leap-provider-cert <leap-provider.crt>
use specified file for LEAP provider cert authority
certificate (url https://<LEAP-provider-
domain>/ca.crt)
-lf <leap provider certificate fingerprint>, --leap-provider-cert-fingerprint <leap provider certificate fingerprint>
use specified fingerprint to validate connection with
LEAP provider
```
The commands you can run are:
* reset - Use this to remove all mails from your account. Existing encryption keys like your GnuPG key is not affected
* sync - Sync your soledad database
* load-mails - Loads existing mails into your account
* dump-soledad- Get a soledad database dump. Mostly for debugging use cases
Like with other such tools, to get detailed help for a single command, call it with the --help option.
```
$ pixelated-maintenace load-mails --help
usage: pixelated-maintenance load-mails [-h] file [file ...]
positional arguments:
file file(s) with mail data
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
```
## How to load mails into an account:
With the load-mails command you are able to import existing mails into your account. The mails have to be in the **mbox** format, i.e. the need a 'From' line in the first line:
```
From someone@somedomain.tld
Subject: This is a testmail
To: else@somedomain.tld
X-TW-Pixelated-Tags: nite, macro, trash
This is a test mail
```
*Preparation*
Steps you might want to consider before importing mails into an account:
* You have started the pixelated-user-agent at least once for this account
* No pixelated-user-agent is currently running
To import this mail into your soledad database, put it into an empty folder. Let's assume its called just 'example_mails'.
```
$ pixelated-maintenace load-mails /path/to/example_mails
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### load-mails fails with soledad sync errors
This happens sometimes, kill the pixelated-maintenance process and start it again, but this time with the *sync* command. **Don't run the load-mails again as you will end up with double the mails**.
