SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Users often waste time switching between webmail interfaces and heavy desktop clients to manage emails across multiple accounts, and lack a fast, scriptable terminal workflow for bulk email tasks like triage, replies, and organization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-account email management: List, read, search, compose, reply, forward, move, and delete emails across multiple configured IMAP/SMTP accounts directly from the terminal.
  • Rich email composition: Support for plain text, multipart, and MIME emails with attachments and inline images via MML syntax, plus interactive editing via your default $EDITOR.
  • Use case example: A remote worker can use this skill to quickly search for client project update emails, reply with attached deliverables, and archive resolved threads without leaving their terminal workflow.

Quick Start

Use the himalaya skill to list all unread emails in your primary inbox and reply to the most recent message from your team lead.
