wmailor

Admin-oriented, text-based IMAP client for inspecting mail as raw source — no HTML rendering, no MIME “preview” chrome.

Built with ratatui. Layout inspired by Midnight Commander; menus inspired by Turbo Vision.

Layout

┌─────────────┬──────────────────────────┐
│  Folders    │  Messages                │
│  (IMAP)     ├──────────────────────────┤
│             │  Message source / MIME   │
└─────────────┴──────────────────────────┘
│ F1 Help  F2 Menu ...          keybar   │
└────────────────────────────────────────┘

• Left: IMAP folder tree
• Right top: message list for the selected folder
• Right bottom: full RFC822 source with syntax coloring (headers, Received chains, X-* headers, etc.)
• MIME parts are a foldable tree; binary parts open in a hex view

Features

• Connect / disconnect; save & load connection profiles (~/.config/wmailor/)
• Raw source display only — toggle original vs decoded body per MIME part
• Download MIME parts to disk
• Customizable color scheme (menu → Colors)
• Hex dump for binary attachments (address 00 11 DD … safe text)
