Questions

1. After running the command imap -m data/your_map_file, nothing display and no errors!!!

A: Check the permissions of the map file, if the current user does not have permissions, modify the permissions with the following commands.

sudo chmod 777 data/your_map_file

2. Map data permission checking has no problem, still nothing display and no errors! A: It's better to install imap_box by running "sudo pip3 install imap_box", then run "imap -m xxx.txt".
