什么是 Himalaya Email CLI？

Himalaya 是一款现代 CLI 工具，专为偏好在不离开终端环境的情况下管理数字通信的开发者和高级用户设计。通过支持 IMAP 和 SMTP 等标准协议，它为多个电子邮件账户提供了一个统一且响应迅速的界面，使用户能够极其高效地列出、阅读和撰写邮件。该工具是 Openclaw Skills 中构建自动化工作流的核心组件，为传统 GUI 邮件客户端提供了一个可脚本化的替代方案。

除了基础的邮件处理，Himalaya 还引入了高级功能，如用于撰写复杂邮件的 MML（MIME 元语言），以及包括 Notmuch 和 Sendmail 在内的灵活后端支持。其核心理念是速度、安全性和互操作性，使其成为任何希望将邮件功能集成到基于终端的开发设置中的人员的必备工具。

Himalaya Email CLI 应用场景

• 通过单一统一的终端界面管理多个专业和个人电子邮件账户。
• 通过 shell 脚本和 cron 任务自动执行邮件回复、通知或报告。
• 无需加载沉重的 Web 界面，即可对大型收件箱进行快速、基于命令行的搜索和过滤。
• 利用 Openclaw Skills 的结构化 JSON 输出，将邮件功能集成到自定义开发工具中。

1. 用户使用交互式向导或通过手动创建 TOML 配置文件来初始化配置。
2. Himalaya 使用 IMAP 检索信封并使用 SMTP 发送邮件，与远程邮件服务器建立安全连接。
3. CLI 获取邮件元数据，允许用户在本地列出和过滤“信封”，直到请求时才下载完整的邮件正文。
4. 在阅读或编写时，该工具与系统编辑器或标准输入交互，以处理邮件内容和 MML 标签。
5. 标记、移动或删除邮件等更改会实时同步回服务器。

Himalaya Email CLI 配置指南

要开始使用此技能，请确保您已安装二进制文件并准备好账户凭据。

# 使用 Homebrew 安装 Himalaya
brew install himalaya

# 验证安装
himalaya --version

# 运行交互式配置向导
himalaya account configure

或者，您可以在 ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml 手动创建配置文件，以定义您的 IMAP 和 SMTP 设置。
