Himalaya Email CLI
Himalaya is a CLI email client that lets you manage emails from the terminal using IMAP, SMTP, Notmuch, or Sendmail backends.
IMPORTANT: Binary and OAuth2
The himalaya binary at ~/.cargo/bin/himalaya (also symlinked to ~/.npm-global/bin/himalaya) is compiled with +oauth2 support. Do NOT use the Homebrew version — it lacks oauth2.
Verify with: himalaya --version — output must include +oauth2.
Do NOT attempt to recompile himalaya. The working binary is already installed.
Outlook OAuth2 (ACTIVE)
Outlook email is fully configured and working via OAuth2. Config: ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml
To read emails, just run:
himalaya envelope list
If you see "authentication failed, refreshing access token", that is normal — himalaya auto-refreshes the token via keyring and retries successfully.
