Latency and friction about himalaya.vim HOT 8 CLOSED

• every time you change view he asked to press ENTER

This may be because of your Vim cmd height. The quick fix is to increase it with set cmdheight=3. I will check how to prevent logs showing on more than 1 line.

• every time you change view you have to wait a bit

Indeed, a call is made each time you do an action. The quick fix is to use an offline IMAP synchroniser (like isync or OfflineIMAP). This way you remove the network latency. I will see how to add cache to improve UX.

This I will try, indeed I keep cmdheight=1, maybe I can search a bit.

Perfect, if you have any working setup, with external utilities, can you share some details?

Check out mutt-wizard. It allows you to set up with ease a isync/msmtp/neomutt environment.

[EDIT] See also the ArchWiki about isync, it is a valuable resource.

For now, the tool can only fetch messages from a local/remote IMAP server. But it could be great to fetch from a local Maildir folder, this way no latency!

I don't have your experience with mail protocols, but while waiting for some native implementation, is there any way to have himalaya itself spawning a third-party IMAP server locally to interact with?
Or maybe is it as expensive as implementing Maildir support?

I need to read more about Maildir, but it seems to be just files in folders. So it should be easier and faster than a local IMAP server. I'm analysing a Rust crate that parses Maildirs, I will let you know!
For now I try to focus on other "mandatory" features (the one I miss to use Himalaya in production), like copy/move/delete a msg, add attachments when writting a msg etc

Perfectly fine!

I move the issue there, since it's not related to the UI: https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/issues/43.
