Usage:

$ virtualenv venv  # or mkvirutalenv lathermail
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install lathermail
$ lathermail --help

usage: lathermail [-h] [--db-uri DB_URI] [--api-host API_HOST]
                  [--api-port API_PORT] [--smtp-host SMTP_HOST]
                  [--smtp-port SMTP_PORT]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --db-uri DB_URI       DB URI, e.g. mongodb://localhost/lathermail,
                        sqlite:////tmp/my.db (default:
                        sqlite:///~/.lathermail.db)
  --api-host API_HOST   API Host (default: 127.0.0.1)

Inboxes are identified by SMTP user/password pairs. lathermail intended to be used in single project environment.

To send email, just use SMTP client with auth support.
