## Configuration ## Configuration
*Please read the [documentation](https://pimalaya.org/himalaya/cli/latest/configuration/).* Just run `himalaya`, the wizard will help you to configure your default account.
You can also manually write your own configuration, from scratch:
- Copy the content of the documented [`./config.sample.toml`](./config.sample.toml)
- Paste it in a new file `~/.config/himalaya/config.toml`
- Edit, then comment or uncomment the options you want
## FAQ
<details>
<summary>How to debug Himalaya CLI?</summary>
The simplest way is to use `--debug` and `--trace` arguments.
The advanced way is based on environment variables:
- `RUST_LOG=<level>`: determines the log level filter, can be one of `off`, `error`, `warn`, `info`, `debug` and `trace`.
- `RUST_SPANTRACE=1`: enables the spantrace (a span represent periods of time in which a program was executing in a particular context).
- `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`: enables the error backtrace.
- `RUST_BACKTRACE=full`: enables the full error backtrace, which include source lines where the error originated from.
Logs are written to the `stderr`, which means that you can redirect them easily to a file:
```
RUST_LOG=debug himalaya 2>/tmp/himalaya.log
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>How the wizard discovers IMAP configs?</summary>
All the lookup mechanisms use the email address domain as base for the lookup. It is heavily inspired from the Thunderbird [Autoconfiguration](https://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration) protocol. For example, for the email address `test@example.com`, the lookup is performed as (in this order):
1. check for `autoconfig.example.com`
2. look up of `example.com` in the ISPDB (the Thunderbird central database)
3. look up `MX example.com` in DNS, and for `mx1.mail.hoster.com`, look up `hoster.com` in the ISPDB
4. look up `SRV example.com` in DNS
5. try to guess (`imap.example.com`, `smtp.example.com`…)
