CLI email client written in Rust.

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

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!

  • Mail/Msg refactoring

    Mail/Msg refactoring

    Hi! I did some changes to the Msg struct. You should be able now to use it for everything which is related to Msgs/Mails. This means:

    • You can build templates with it
    • You can reply with it
    • Edit the body
    • Add new attachments

    and so on.

    I'd really appreaciate it, if this could be merged, because the "new" Msg struct will be able to store all related information of a Msg which should make it easier for the TUI to display them.

    Hint

    It's not completely done yet. You can see below in the TODO section what is missing, but the rest should work.

    Experiments around TUI

    You can view in this pull request the "process" of the implementation of the TUI. Pls consider that I'm completely new in rust so I might be pretty slow, but I'll do my best.

    Status

    Created the src/tui directory with

    cargo new --lib tui

    Information for maintainer (@soywod )

    I'm creating the pull request now, so you can review any time the latest commits whenever you want, so you can give me immediately a feedback if something doesn't suit you. Is that fine for you?

  • Notmuch support?

    Notmuch support?

    Awesome project! Just tried it out :)

    I'm wondering if there is a plan to support notmuch labels? In my aerc setup I've written some scripts that translate protonmail labels to notmuch labels which I like to see in my email client. Alternatively to notmuch labels could there be an option to show next to the email subject the labels associated to the email given by which Labels.xxx folders it also belongs to?

  • Introduce backends

    Introduce backends

    For now, we can only connect himalaya to an IMAP server with this config:

    global-settings

[account-name]
account-settings

    We want to connect other backends:

    • [x] https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/pull/296

    • [x] #43

    • [x] #57

    • [x] #318

    I propose to change the config this way:

    global-settings

[backend-name.account-name]
account-settings

    The fact to prefix the account with a backend allow us to have different APIs of account settings (one per backend). Plus it will match well with the toml to rust deserialization.

    To avoid breaking changes, we can consider that the default backend (if no prefix given) is the IMAP one. But it could be nice to deprecate such implicit usage. To show a warning to those users, we will need https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/pull/293.

  • No reaction to incoming email when running `himalaya notify`

    No reaction to incoming email when running `himalaya notify`

    It's entirely possible that I'm not doing this correctly, but I'm not seeing any notifications when running himalaya notify.

    notify-send works fine. himalaya list and other features work as expected, so I think my configuration is OK. I've tried setting notify-cmd to something sensible, and leaving it unset. I'm also not seeing any reactions to incoming email when running himalaya watch (after setting watch-cmd). Troubleshooting suggestions welcome.

  • Protonmail bridge SMTP timed out STARTTLS

    Protonmail bridge SMTP timed out STARTTLS

    I'm trying to send an email using himalaya through the protonmail bridge but I'm getting the error:

    internal client error: timed out waiting for connection: Connection error: Could not connect

    after some time. Any thoughts on what could be going wrong? imap does work fine.

    My config is:

    [proton]
default = true
email = "<MYEMAIL>"

imap-host = "127.0.0.1"
imap-port = 1143
imap-login = "<MYEMAIL>"
imap-passwd-cmd = "echo <IMAP_PWD>"
imap-starttls = true

smtp-host = "127.0.0.1"
smtp-port = 1025
smtp-login = "<MYEMAIL>"
smtp-passwd-cmd = "echo <IMAP_PWD>"
smtp-starttls = true

    where things inside <> are replaced by their actual values.

    Customize table columns + adjust the JSON output

    Wonderful project!

    I got it working pretty easily with my Fastmail account.

    I'd like to use this to run some analysis based on specific message headers. Is it possible to output (either in plain or JSON) specific headers?

    something like

  • Release v0.6.2

    Release v0.6.2

    Added

    • Added the email composer (from its own repository) [#341].
    • Added Musl builds to releases [#356].
    • Added himalaya man command to generate man page [#419].

    Changed

    • Made commands read, attachments, flags, copy, move, delete accept multiple ids.
    • Flipped arguments ids and folder for commands copy and move in order the folder not to be considered as an id.

    Fixed

    • Fixed missing folder aliases [#430].

    Removed

    • Removed the -a|--attachment argument from write, reply and forward commands. Instead you can attach documents directly from the template using the syntax <#part filename=/path/to/you/document.ext>.
    • Removed the -e|--encrypt flag from write, reply and forward commands. Instead you can encrypt and sign parts directly from the template using the syntax <#part type=text/plain encrypt=command sign=command>Hello!<#/part>.
    • Removed the -l|--log-level option, use instead the RUST_LOG environment variable (see the wiki)

    himalaya-lib

    Added

    • Made backend functions accept a vector of id instead of a single id [#20].
    • Added function Backend::purge_folder that removes all emails inside a folder.

    Fixed

    • Used native IMAP commands copy and mv.
    • Fixed maildir date envelope parsing.
    • Fixed inline attachments not collected.

    Changed

    • Improved Backend method names. Also replaced the self mut by a RefCell.
    • Simplified the Email struct: there is no custom implementation with custom fields. Now, the Email struct is just a wrapper around mailparse::ParsedMail.
    • Improved Flag structures.
    • Changed Backend trait functions due to [#20]:
      • list_envelope => list_envelopes
      • search_envelope => search_envelopes
      • get_email => get_emails, takes now ids: Vec<&str> and returns an Emails structure instead of an Email)
      • copy_email => copy_emails, takes now ids: Vec<&str>.
      • move_email => move_emails, takes now ids: Vec<&str>.
      • delete_email => delete_emails, takes now ids: Vec<&str>.
      • add_flags takes now ids: Vec<&str> and flags: &Flags.
      • set_flags takes now ids: Vec<&str> and flags: &Flags.
      • remove_flags takes now ids: Vec<&str> and flags: &Flags.

    Removed

    • The email::Tpl structure moved to its own repository.
    • Encryption and signed moved with the email::Tpl in its own repository.

    Configuration wizard

    Another try at #312 with the new API, namely greeting the user with a wizard when no configuration can be found.

    I'm aiming at making the wizard flexible wrt. the configuration values, but I hope this PR gives us a chance to properly evaluate the config structure. I feel that we should be able to streamline it a bit, but I'm not sure how (yet.)
