mu: Initialize the email database, optionally specifying the Maildir directory and email addresses.
$ mu init --maildir=${path-to-directory} --my-address=${name@example-com}
try on your machine

The command "mu init" is used to initialize the Mu email client and sets up the necessary configuration files and directories.

In this specific command:

  1. "--maildir=${path-to-directory}" specifies the path to the directory where the emails will be stored. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual file directory path where you want your email data to be stored.

  2. "--my-address=${name@example-com}" sets the address associated with your email account. Replace "${name@example-com}" with your actual email address.

Overall, this command initializes Mu with specified settings for email storage location and account address.
