# Himalaya

Use `himalaya` for IMAP/SMTP email from shell.

## References

- `references/configuration.md`: account config, auth, backend setup.
- `references/message-composition.md`: MML compose syntax.

## Setup

```bash
himalaya --version
himalaya account configure
```

Config path: `~/.config/himalaya/config.toml`.

Prefer password managers/keyrings for credentials; do not paste secrets into chat/logs.

## Read/search

```bash
himalaya folder list
himalaya envelope list
himalaya message read <id>
himalaya envelope list from [email protected] subject invoice
```

## Write

```bash
himalaya message write
himalaya template write
himalaya template send < /tmp/message.txt
himalaya message reply <id>
himalaya message forward <id>
```

Use MML for attachments and rich messages; read `references/message-composition.md` first.

## Organize

```bash
himalaya message copy <id> <folder>
himalaya message move <id> <folder>
himalaya message delete <id>
himalaya flag add <id> --flag seen
himalaya flag remove <id> --flag seen
```

## Safety

- Confirm before sending, deleting, or moving many messages.
- Use `--account` when multiple accounts exist.
- Quote exact message IDs in summaries.
