Himalaya is a command line email client and a suite of toolsets for email protocol implementation. It provides a terminal-based interface for managing email accounts using IMAP and SMTP protocols.
The project includes a PIM framework and specialized libraries for building personal information management applications that integrate emails, contacts, calendars, and tasks. It features a PGP email encryptor for end-to-end encrypted communication and an email data exporter that extracts messages and metadata into JSON format for use in external scripts.
The system covers a broad range of email management capabilities, including message composition, dispatch, filtering, and retrieval. It supports mailbox folder management, message manipulation, and local email archiving through account synchronization to ensure data availability offline.
