+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+bitmask [-h] [-d] [-l [LOG FILE]] [--openvpn-verbosity [OPENVPN_VERB]]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+*bitmask* is a graphical client to control LEAP, the encrypted internet access toolkit.
+
+When launched, it places an icon in the system tray from where the LEAP services can be controlled.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+general options
+---------------
+
+**-h, --help** Print a help message and exit.
+
+**-l, --logfile=<file>** Writes log to file.
+
+**-s, --standalone** Makes Bitmask use standalone directories for configuration and binary searching.
+
+**-V, --version** Displays Bitmask version and exits.
+
+
+openvpn options
+---------------
+
+**--openvpn-verbosity** [0-5] Verbosity level for openvpn logs.
+
+debug options
+-------------
+**-d, --debug** Launches client in debug mode, writing debug info to stdout.
+
+**--danger** Bypasses the certificate check for bootstrap. This open the possibility of MITM attacks, so use only to debug providers in controlled environments, and never in production.
+
+ENCRYPTED MAIL
+==============
+
+Bitmask now (since version 0.3.0) supports the encrypted mail service with providers that offer it.
+
+Mail client configuration
+-------------------------
+
+To be able to use the mail services, you should configure your mail client to
+talk to the following ports:
+
+**STMP**: localhost:2013
+
+**IMAP**: localhost:1984
+
+For the time being, we have successfully tested this functionality in thunderbird.
+
+Mail poll period
+----------------
+
+If you want to change the default polling time for fetching mail, you can use
+a environment variable: BITMASK_MAILCHECK_PERIOD
+
+WARNING
+=======
+
+This software is still in its early phases of testing. So don't trust your life to it!
