Email management from the terminal is achieved through a command-line interface that connects to IMAP and SMTP protocols. This allows you to list, read, write, reply, forward, search, and organize emails directly from your command line.

Handling multiple email accounts via a command-line interface is fully supported. You can configure multiple backends and securely manage message composition, allowing you to easily list or search emails across different accounts like a work or personal account.

To set up reading and writing emails from the command line, you need the Himalaya CLI installed along with configured IMAP and SMTP access. Secure password management is also required to safely authenticate your email backends.

To list and search emails from a specific sender in the terminal, you execute specific CLI commands targeting your configured account. You can retrieve all envelopes from a work account or filter messages by sender directly through the command line.

Terminal-based email management does support secure password management. While connecting to your IMAP and SMTP backends, the system ensures that your account credentials are handled securely during all CRUD operations.

Limitations of using a CLI for email management include the requirement for configured IMAP/SMTP access and reliance on terminal commands for all interactions. Users must be comfortable with command-line operations to perform CRUD tasks on emails.
