For the moment, use the following pseudo-algorithm to compile lazymail: +```cd src/ +missingDeps <- ghc -o Main Main.hs +mapM (\dep -> cabal install dep) missingDeps``` + +## Usage +The first thing you'll want to do is edit `customConfig` function, in **Config.hs** file. This function has some user configuration in order for the client to work. Edit `initialFile` and point it to the root of your maildirs hierarchy. Re-compile the program. + +Then use your cursor keys to move between the different modes. Read **Keymap.hs** to discover the rest of the key-bindings. You can even add your own key-bindings in **Config.hs**. |
