What problem does it solve?

Himalaya removes the friction of checking and organizing email by letting you list, read, write, and move messages directly from the terminal instead of switching between apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Terminal IMAP/SMTP Email Management: list folders and emails, read/export messages, reply, forward, and delete with a consistent CLI workflow.
  • Search, Organize, and Flag Messages: search by sender/subject, move or copy messages into folders, and add or remove flags like seen.
  • Safe, Flexible Composition: compose new messages interactively or via stdin using MML (MIME Meta Language), including multipart content and attachments.
  • Multi-account Support: switch accounts with configuration and run commands against a selected account.

Quick Start

Install Himalaya, configure your IMAP/SMTP account at ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml, then run himalaya envelope list to view your inbox messages.
