+Usage: mail-stats [OPTIONS]
+
+FILTERING OPTIONS:
+  -d, --date "MMM DD"   Filter by date (e.g., "Sep 4" or "Sep 24"). Default: today.
+                        Use "" (empty string) to search all dates in available logs.
+  --time "HH:MM"        Filter by specific time/hour (e.g., "14:30" or "14:").
+  -f, --from EMAIL      Filter by sender email or domain (e.g., "admin@" or "domain.com").
+  -t, --to EMAIL        Filter by recipient email or domain.
+  -a, --ip IP_ADDRESS   Filter by source/relay IP address (e.g., "192.168.1.").
+  -s, --status STATUS   Filter by delivery status (e.g., sent, deferred, reject, bounced). Case-insensitive.
+  -i, --id QUEUE_ID     Search for a specific Postfix Queue ID (Enables Detail View).
+
+OUTPUT OPTIONS:
+  -l, --list NUMBER     Number of records to show (1-1000, default: 10).
+  -S, --summary         Show aggregate statistics (Top IPs, Senders, Recipients, Statuses) instead of list.
+  -c, --csv             Output data in CSV format (disables colors).
+
+MISC OPTIONS:
+  --log-dir PATH        Custom path to log files (default: /var/log).
+  -h, --help            Display this help message.
+
+EXAMPLES:
+  # Search for rejected emails today and show summary stats
+  mail-stats -s reject -S
+
+  # Find all emails sent from a specific IP around 14:30 on Sep 4
+  mail-stats -d "Sep 4" --time "14:30" -a "192.168.1.50"
+
+  # Export 50 latest records for a specific target domain to a CSV file
+  mail-stats -t targetdomain.com -l 50 -c > report.csv
