Reverse engineered prompt
Build me a terminal email tool called Himalaya that lets me manage email from the command line without needing a complicated setup. I want to be able to add one or more accounts, have a first run setup wizard that asks for my email address, tries to discover the right server settings automatically, and saves everything in a simple TOML config file. It should work with common remote mail services for reading and sending mail, and also local mailbox folders.
The app should cover the everyday stuff, list mailboxes, show message summaries, read full messages, compose and send new mail, handle attachments, and let me manage message flags. I also want account reconfiguration later, optional JSON output for scripting, and support for using stored passwords or command based password lookup instead of typing secrets into the config.
Please make it feel polished for real terminal use, and include sensible examples for Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and Proton Bridge if possible. Look up current provider setup docs online if you need to.
