Himalaya is a command-line email client. It lists, reads, writes, moves and deletes messages over IMAP, SMTP, JMAP, the Gmail and Microsoft Graph APIs, and local Maildir and mbox folders, with multiple accounts in one TOML file.

Run himalaya without a configuration to start the setup wizard, which discovers your provider's servers from your email address.

Examples

himalaya
himalaya envelope list
himalaya message read 42

Passwords

The snap includes secret-tool, so a password command can read your desktop keyring after you connect the password-manager-service interface:

sudo snap connect himalaya:password-manager-service

File access

Himalaya can use Maildir and mbox folders in your home directory. To also use removable media (/media, /mnt), run:

sudo snap connect himalaya:removable-media
