01 — WHY TMAIL
Built for people who already live in a terminal.
No browser tab. No heavyweight desktop shell. Just your inbox, your keyboard, and the tools you already use.
02
Gmail-inspired
A familiar mailbox layout translated into a focused terminal interface.
03
Powered by Himalaya
Mail protocols, accounts and credentials are handled by the battle-tested Himalaya CLI.
04
Make it yours
Switch themes at runtime, customize color tokens, remap keys, or run without color entirely.

Instant where it matters
A small on-disk cache keeps previously loaded mail ready while refreshes happen in the background.
06
Use your editor
Compose with the built-in editor, $EDITOR, or a command such as nvim.
02 — INSTALL
Two commands.
Then check your mail.
Homebrew installs TMail and Himalaya together. TMail can guide you through account setup on first run.
Terminal
$ brew tap jodaka/tap https://github.com/jodaka/homebrew-tap
$ brew install jodaka/tap/tmailThen run
