# Himalaya Email CLI
|
||||
|
||||
Himalaya is a CLI email client that lets you manage emails from the terminal using IMAP, SMTP, Notmuch, or Sendmail backends.
|
||||
|
||||
## References
|
||||
|
||||
- `references/configuration.md` (config file setup + IMAP/SMTP authentication)
|
||||
- `references/message-composition.md` (MML syntax for composing emails)
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
1. Himalaya CLI installed (`himalaya --version` to verify)
|
||||
2. A configuration file at `~/.config/himalaya/config.toml`
|
||||
3. IMAP/SMTP credentials configured (password stored securely)
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Run the interactive wizard to set up an account:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
himalaya account configure
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or create `~/.config/himalaya/config.toml` manually:
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[accounts.personal]
|
||||
email = "you@example.com"
|
||||
display-name = "Your Name"
|
||||
default = true
|
||||
|
||||
backend.type = "imap"
|
||||
backend.host = "imap.example.com"
|
||||
backend.port = 993
|
||||
backend.encryption.type = "tls"
|
||||
backend.login = "you@example.com"
|
||||
backend.auth.type = "password"
|
||||
backend.auth.cmd = "pass show email/imap" # or use keyring
|
||||
|
||||
message.send.backend.type = "smtp"
|
||||
message.send.backend.host = "smtp.example.com"
|
||||
message.send.backend.port = 587
|
||||
message.send.backend.encryption.type = "start-tls"
|
||||
message.send.backend.login = "you@example.com"
|
||||
message.send.backend.auth.type = "password"
|
||||
message.send.backend.auth.cmd = "pass show email/smtp"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Debugging
|

RUST_LOG=debug himalaya envelope list
|
||||
```
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `himalaya --help` or `himalaya <command> --help` for detailed usage.
|
||||
- Message IDs are relative to the current folder; re-list after folder changes.
|
||||
- For composing rich emails with attachments, use MML syntax (see `references/message-composition.md`).
|
||||
- Store passwords securely using `pass`, system keyring, or a command that outputs the password.
