tmail

Dark, light, and custom palettes — captures from real TMail sessions, not interface mockups. Pick a theme to preview it.

Built for people who already live in a terminal. No browser tab and no desktop shell — use familiar keyboard rhythms and switch accounts and themes in place.

Keyboard first

Navigate, search, read, reply, compose, archive, select in bulk, and more without leaving the keyboard. Mouse support is also present but turned off by default.

Multiple accounts

Switch between configured accounts from inside TMail with Ctrl+G.

Powered by Himalaya

Mail protocols, accounts, and credentials stay in the proven Himalaya CLI layer.

Themes at runtime

Use the built-in themes or define your own.

Fast warm starts

A small per-account on-disk cache lets previously loaded mail appear immediately while fresh data loads in the background (cache can be disabled).

Built-in or external editor

The built-in composer is the default, but you can use any other editor you want via $EDITOR.

Move, search, compose, reply, switch accounts, and open your editor — no mouse required. Best of all — you can fully reconfigure all keybindings to suit your needs

Download a binary for your platform or use Homebrew on mac. If you do not have a config yet, TMail starts its account setup flow automatically.

$ brew tap jodaka/tap https://github.com/jodaka/homebrew-tap
$ brew install jodaka/tap/tmail
$ tmail

TMail reads its own settings from the same TOML file Himalaya uses for accounts — ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml. Keep the defaults, or opt into mouse support, notifications, themes, custom keybindings or a bunch of other settings.

[tmail]
mouse = true
notifications = "on" // off by default
view_mode = "compact"

[tmail.theme]
name = "light"

[tmail.composer]
editor = "$EDITOR"
