 # Email Forwarder
 
-This script forwards new emails from a source IMAP account (e.g., GMX) to a destination IMAP account (e.g., MXRoute), avoiding duplicates by tracking Message-IDs and using time-based searches.
+This script forwards new emails from a source IMAP account (e.g., GMX) to a destination IMAP account (e.g., MXRoute), avoiding duplicates by tracking Message-IDs.
 
 ## Setup
 
-### Automated Install (Recommended)
 Run the install script: `./install.sh`
 
 This will set up the virtual environment, systemd services, and provide post-install instructions.
 
-### Manual Setup
-1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your IMAP credentials, Uptime URLs, and settings.
-
-2. Create virtual environment: `python -m venv venv`
-
-3. Activate and install: `source venv/bin/activate && pip install -e .`
-
-4. For user services (recommended):
-   - Copy services: `cp *.service *.timer ~/.config/systemd/user/`
-   - Copy drop-in: `cp -r email_forwarder.service.d ~/.config/systemd/user/`
-   - Copy `~/.config/systemd/user/email_forwarder.service.d/override.conf.sample` to `override.conf` and edit to set your PROJECT_DIR and ENV_FILE paths.
-
-5. Reload and enable: `systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user enable email_forwarder.timer && systemctl --user start email_forwarder.timer`
-
-6. Check status: `systemctl --user status email_forwarder.timer`
