What problem does it solve?
Himalaya eliminates the friction of checking, searching, and composing emails by letting you work directly in a terminal instead of switching to a graphical mail client.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Terminal email management (IMAP/SMTP and more): List folders, browse messages, and read or export email content without leaving your command line.
- Search, organize, and maintain: Find messages by sender/subject, move/copy between folders, and manage flags like seen.
- Flexible composing with MML: Write, reply, forward, and send messages using MML (MIME Meta Language) including rich multipart and attachments.
- Authentication-ready workflows: Configure accounts via a TOML file and support secure password sourcing through commands (e.g., pass) and OAuth2 where available.
