- Configure and use Himalaya CLI email client with Protonmail Bridge. Use when setting up himalaya, debugging IMAP/SMTP connection issues, or managing email from the terminal. Covers config format for v1.2.0, Protonmail Bridge quirks, and common commands.
Himalaya CLI Email
Rust-based CLI email client. Connects to Protonmail via Bridge's local IMAP/SMTP.
Config Location
~/.config/himalaya/config.toml
Protonmail Bridge Setup
Bridge exposes local IMAP/SMTP — credentials come from Bridge, not your Proton account.
Get credentials: protonmail-bridge --cli → login → info
- IMAP:
127.0.0.1:1143 - SMTP:
127.0.0.1:1025 - Login: your Proton email address
- Password: Bridge-generated token (NOT your account password)
Config Template (v1.2.0)
[accounts.proton]
default = true
email = "[email protected]"
display-name = "Your Name"
downloads-dir = "~/Downloads"
backend.type = "imap"
backend.host = "127.0.0.1"
backend.port = 1143
backend.encryption.type = "none"
backend.login = "[email protected]"
backend.auth.type = "password"
backend.auth.cmd = "pass show proton/bridge"
message.send.backend.type = "smtp"
message.send.backend.host = "127.0.0.1"
message.send.backend.port = 1025
message.send.backend.encryption.type = "none"
message.send.backend.login = "[email protected]"
message.send.backend.auth.type = "password"
message.send.backend.auth.cmd = "pass show proton/bridge"
Critical Config Gotchas
- Encryption MUST be
"none"— Bridge uses a self-signed cert that causesCaUsedAsEndEntityTLS errors with rustls. Localhost-only so no security risk. - Password key is
auth.cmdfor shell commands,auth.rawfor inline,auth.keyringfor system keyring. NOTauth.command— that's an invalid key. - Login is your full email even though Bridge generates a separate password.
Common Commands
himalaya envelope list # List inbox
himalaya envelope list -f Sent # List sent
himalaya message read <ID> # Read message
himalaya message write # Compose (opens $EDITOR)
himalaya message reply <ID> # Reply
himalaya message forward <ID> # Forward
himalaya attachment download <ID> # Download attachments
himalaya folder list # List folders
Debugging
himalaya envelope list --debug # Debug logs
himalaya envelope list --trace # Verbose trace + backtrace
Common errors:
CaUsedAsEndEntity→ Setencryption.type = "none"for both IMAP and SMTPcannot parse configuration→ Check for invalid keys (e.g.,auth.commandinstead ofauth.cmd)authentication failed→ Use Bridge password, not Proton account password- IMAP warning about continuation request → Harmless Bridge quirk, can ignore
