How do I manage multiple IMAP and SMTP email accounts from the command line?▼

CLI email management lets you list, read, and organize messages across multiple IMAP and SMTP accounts from the terminal. It requires a config file and authentication credentials for each backend to enable multi-account workflows.

Can I search and read emails directly in the terminal without a graphical client?▼

Yes, CLI email tools let you search and read emails directly in the terminal without a graphical client. You can list INBOX messages, view specific message IDs, and search across threads without leaving your command line environment.

What do I need to set up before using a CLI email client with IMAP and SMTP?▼

Before using a CLI email client with IMAP and SMTP, you need the command-line application installed, a configuration file at the default config path, and authentication credentials for your IMAP and SMTP backends.

Does CLI email management support composing and sending messages via SMTP?▼

While CLI email management supports MML-based message composition, sending emails via SMTP is deliberately disabled for safety. You can prepare and compose messages, but the actual sending action is restricted within this context.

How do I organize and reply to email threads from the terminal?▼
