Hi all.


I'm trying to figure out Himalaya on Windows. I don't know what 
functions don't work for one thing. I wanted to move the config to 
somewhere I can find it. Where ever it's at, I can't find it. I'd rather 
just have it in the same directory as the .exe and really, I want the 
whole thing to work that way.


It won't let me set the mail type to imap, it always does maildir or 
what ever even if I type IMAP. Since I'm trying to access gmail, I 
assume that's the only option that will actually do it.

They all work, as far as I can remember. I haven't tried the notmuch
stuff, though, just imap.

The location is `C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\himalaya`. You can put a
`config.toml` file in there, but it was probably already created.

By default it *should* just use IMAP, but you can set it to use maildir
"most of the time" and only sync when you ask it to. Even so, you can
disable sync by setting `sync=false` in the config. Here is an example:

```
[skin]
backend = "imap"
email = "me@djha.skin"
default = false
display-name = "Skin"
sender = "smtp"
smtp-host = "smtp.migadu.com"
smtp-port = 465
smtp-ssl = true
smtp-login = "me@djha.skin"
smtp-passwd-cmd = 'multipass smtp://smtp.migadu.com:445/ me@djha.skin'
sync = true
imap-host = "imap.migadu.com"
imap-port = 993
imap-ssl = true
imap-login = "me@djha.skin"
imap-passwd-cmd = 'multipass imap://imap.migadu.com:993/ me@djha.skin'
```

In the above, you would just set `sync = false`. There's also the
`--disable-cache` option if you only want to disable it temporarily. I
personally like the sync thing.

More info on how my himalaya was set up, you can explore that repo of my
dotfiles, or go here and read how I set it up for a git email workflow:

Hope this helps.
