Himalaya Email Client

Read, send, and manage email using the himalaya command-line email client. Unlike the email-imap skill which connects to IMAP directly, this skill delegates all mail operations to the himalaya CLI binary, which handles its own IMAP/SMTP configuration.

Usage

• "Check my inbox for new emails"
• "Read the latest email from Sarah"
• "Send an email to [e-mail] about the meeting"
• "Search my mailbox for invoices from last month"
• "List all mail folders"
• "Reply to the last email"
• "Forward the email about the budget to [e-mail]"

How it works

Runs the himalaya CLI to interact with configured email accounts. Himalaya manages its own account configuration (IMAP/SMTP credentials, folders, etc.) via its config file. The agent invokes subcommands like himalaya list, himalaya read, himalaya send, himalaya search, himalaya reply, himalaya forward, and himalaya folder list to perform mail operations.

Key commands

• himalaya list -- list messages in the inbox (or a specified folder)
• himalaya read <id> -- read a specific message by ID
• himalaya send -- compose and send a new message (reads from stdin or a file)
• himalaya reply <id> -- reply to a message
• himalaya forward <id> -- forward a message
• himalaya search <query> -- search messages across the mailbox
• himalaya folder list -- list available mail folders
• himalaya attachments <id> -- download attachments from a message

Setup

1. Install himalaya: brew install himalaya (macOS) or download from https://github.com/pimalaya/himalaya
2. Configure your email account by running himalaya configure or editing ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml manually with your IMAP/SMTP credentials.
3. Optionally set HIMALAYA_CONFIG to point to a custom config file location.
