Right, the command that alot fires initially - if not stated otherwise in the config or command line arguments - is "search tag:inbox AND NOT tag:killed", which opens a new search buffer for query "tag:inbox AND NOT tag:killed". We might consider changing this, as it indeed suggest that inbox or killed tags are special in some sense. I'm not sure if its a great idea to not fire any command initially by default. After all, people don't start up theyr mail client and want to stare at a blank terminal. Perhaps we could drop the "AND NOT tag:killed" here, I don't really have strong feelings about that. To change the initial command edit the "initial_command" config option: http://alot.readthedocs.org/en/latest/configuration/index.html#initial-command best, /p
