📫 Himalaya

Command-line interface for email management

The project is under active development. Do not use in production before the v1.0.0.

Motivation

Bringing emails to the terminal is a pain. First, because they are sensitive data. Secondly, the existing TUIs (Mutt, NeoMutt, Alpine, aerc…) are really hard to configure. They require time and patience.

The aim of Himalaya is to extract the email logic into a simple (yet solid) CLI API that can be used directly from the terminal, from scripts, from UIs… Possibilities are endless!
