  • Pimalaya: open-source PIM tools in Rust; positions itself as I/O-free Rust libraries plus house-made applications for the PIM domain.
  • Himalaya: CLI to manage emails; supports IMAP/Maildir/Notmuch, SMTP/Sendmail, keyring, OAuth2, JSON output, and multi-account configuration.
  • User intent: explore using Pimalaya/Himalaya to clean up a ~2k pending inbox.
  • Related idea: connect this with Kailash Nadh's email UI idea.
  • Writing idea to track: future post on rohanverma.net about using the harness to clean the inbox with this stack; create/track under a separate Writing ideas topic later.
  • Good follow-up angle: practical personal email triage workflow built from CLI + custom harness, then surfaced via a nicer UI.
