Gmail — 
gog mail
(gogcli)

gog mail list                              # List inbox messages
gog mail list --label "INBOX" --max 20
gog mail read <message-id>                 # Read a message
gog mail send --to "user@example.com" --subject "Subject" --body "Body"
gog mail reply <message-id> --body "Reply text"

gog mail search "is:unread after:2026/02/01"
gog mail label add <message-id> "Label"
gog mail label remove <message-id> "INBOX"
gog mail archive <message-id>
gog mail trash <message-id>
gog mail labels                            # List all labels
gog mail thread <thread-id>                # View full thread

IMAP — 
himalaya

himalaya list                              # List inbox
himalaya list -m 50                        # List last 50 messages
himalaya read <id>                         # Read message
himalaya write                             # Compose new message (interactive)
himalaya send --to "user@example.com" --subject "Subj" < body.txt
himalaya reply <id>
himalaya forward <id>
himalaya search "subject:report"
himalaya move <id> "Archive"               # Move to folder
himalaya delete <id>

himalaya --account work list               # Use a specific account

Usage Guidelines

  • Prefer 
    gog
    for Gmail accounts; prefer 
    himalaya
    for non-Gmail IMAP.
  • Use 
    gog mail search
    with Gmail search syntax (from:, to:, subject:, is:unread, has:attachment).
  • For sending with body content, pass the body directly or pipe a file.
  • Both tools require prior authentication setup.

Notes

  • gog
    requires Google OAuth configured via 
    gog auth
    .
  • himalaya
    requires IMAP credentials in 
    ~/.config/himalaya/config.toml
    .
