## Motivation
|
|
|
|
Bringing emails to the terminal is a pain. The mainstream TUI, (neo)mutt, takes
|
|
time to configure. The default mapping is not intuitive when coming from the
|
|
Vim environment. It is even scary to use at the beginning, since you are
|
|
dealing with sensitive data!
|
|
|
|
The aim of Himalaya is to extract the email logic into a simple (yet solid) CLI
|
|
API that can be used either directly from the terminal or UIs. It gives users
|
|
more flexibility.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### List mailboxes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shows mailboxes in a basic table.
|
|
|
|
### List messages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shows messages in a basic table.
|
|
|
|
### Search messages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shows filtered messages in a basic table. The query should follow the
|
|
[RFC-3501](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.4.4).
|
|
|
|
### Download attachments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Downloads all attachments from a message directly to the
|
|
[`downloads-dir`](https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/wiki/Configuration).
|
|
|
|
### Read a message
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shows the text content of a message (`text/plain` if exists, otherwise
|
|
`text/html`).
|
|
|
|
### Write a new message
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
himalaya write
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Opens your default editor (from the `$EDITOR` environment variable) to compose
|
|
a new message.
|
|
|
|
### Reply to a message
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
himalaya reply --all 5123
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Opens your default editor to reply to a message.
|
|
|
|
### Forward a message
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
himalaya forward 5123
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Opens your default editor to forward a message.
|
|
|
|
### Listen to new messages
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
himalaya idle
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Starts a session in idle mode (blocking). When a new message arrives, it runs
|
|
the command `notification-cmd` defined in the [config
|
|
file](https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/wiki/Configuration).
|
|
|
|
Here a use case with [`systemd`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd):

|
```ini
|
|
