Hi, when I call "alot" without any arguments, I get the following output: Could not read /home/uggy/.notmuch-config and/or /usr/share/alot/alot/settings/../defaults/notmuch.rc.spec Output of: "alot -n /usr/share/alot/alot/settings/../defaults/notmuch.rc.spec": key "synchronize_flags" in section "maildir" failed validation: the value "boolean(default=False)" is of the wrong type. content of notmuch.rc.spec: [maildir] synchronize_flags = boolean(default=False) Please note that I have not modified or created any config files. However, according to the alot manual[1], all configs are optional. So I expected alot to start without errors. [1] https://alot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/index.html Regards, Edgard
