vim-himalaya-ui

Simple UI for himalaya. It allows simple navigation through mail accounts and allows for reading and writing email.

Tested on Linux and Neovim.

Features:

• Navigate through multiple accounts and it's folders and emails

Disclaimer

The idea is to have a similar interface to vim-dadbod-ui, but for email. Which is why I decided to fork it and modify it to the needs of himalaya. This is a work in progress and it's not ready for use. Pull requests are extremely welcome.

This is my first vim plugin, so I'm learning as I go.

Installation

No clue. I'm still working on this.

After configuring your mail account, run :HIMALAYAUI, which should open up a drawer with all mail accounts provided. When you finish writing an email, just write the file (:w) and it will automatically prompt to send or save as draft.

Future

Fix multiple issues and implement more features.

Roadmap

Mail List View (aka $ list mails)

Uses the current window where in dadbod you write the query, but instead lists all the emails.

Actions (based on keybindings and hovered_over):

• Reply (Mail Create View)
• Reply all (Mail Create View)
• Forward (Mail Create View)
• Download Attachments
• Open externally...
• Delete
• Move to... (Telescope integration?)
• Enter: shows Mail in the dadbod result window (Mail Display View)

Mail Display View

Displays Mail as text. Toggable to HTML view which shows raw html.

Actions:

• same as in List View
• View as HTML/Text
• (when hovered_on Thread expand...)

Mail Create View (aka $ create mail)

Pre-filled based on context. Should actually already work easily as himalaya provides most of this.

Actions

• Send
• Save as draft
• Add Attachment
• Discard

Afaik that should be all of the main stuff.

Hard stuff not provided by Himalaya:

• Enhanced Mail View in the future with lynx browser integration possibly.
• Images maybe with sixel. No clue. I actually don't mind reading Email in text only.
• Querying using something like notmuch
