Read, search, send, and manage Zoho Mail from the terminal. JSON output for scripting and agents. No third-party service required.
Read, search, send, and manage Zoho Mail from the terminal. JSON output for scripting and agents. No third-party service required.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Requirements: the zoho binary (install via brew/uv/pipx below), one-time OAuth setup, and local credential storage (config + OS keyring). zoho is a command-line tool for Zoho Mail. All output is JSON by default โ structured, pipe-friendly, and agent-ready. Use --md for markdown tables.
Requires Python 3.11+. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. # Homebrew (macOS / Linux) brew install robsannaa/tap/zoho-cli # uv (all platforms) uv tool install git+https://github.com/robsannaa/zoho-cli # pipx (all platforms) pipx install git+https://github.com/robsannaa/zoho-cli After install, run the one-time setup: zoho config init # save your Zoho OAuth client_id / client_secret zoho login # open browser, region auto-detected See the full setup guide in the README.
zoho must be installed and authenticated (zoho login completed). Check: zoho config show โ must return a JSON object with default_account and a non-empty accounts map. If not logged in: tell the user to follow the setup in the README.
stdout โ JSON (default) or Markdown (--md). Always machine-readable. stderr โ errors (as JSON), debug logs, interactive prompts. Never in stdout. Exit 0 = success. Exit 1 = error (JSON error object on stderr). # errors land on stderr, not stdout zoho mail list 2>/dev/null # stdout empty on error zoho mail list 2>&1 >/dev/null # see error JSON
Tokens are stored in the OS keyring and refreshed automatically before every command. No manual token management needed. Credential storage (sensitive): Users must be aware that the CLI stores sensitive data locally: OAuth client_id and client_secret โ saved via zoho config init in the config file (e.g. ~/.config/zoho-cli/config.json). Access and refresh tokens โ stored in the OS keyring (or, if ZOHO_TOKEN_PASSWORD is set, in an encrypted file). These are used to access Zoho Mail on the user's behalf. Do not expose config files or keyring entries to untrusted parties. If a command fails with not_logged_in or token_refresh_failed, tell the user to run: zoho login
--account EMAIL select account (env: ZOHO_ACCOUNT) --config PATH config file path (env: ZOHO_CONFIG) --md markdown table output instead of JSON --debug HTTP + debug logs to stderr
List messages in a folder. zoho mail list # Inbox, 50 messages zoho mail list --folder Sent --limit 20 zoho mail list -f "My Project" -n 100 Output โ array of message summaries: [ { "messageId": "1771333290108014300", "folderId": "8072279000000002014", "subject": "Q1 invoice", "from": "billing@acme.com", "to": ["you@example.com"], "date": "1740067200000", "unread": true, "hasAttachments": true, "tags": [] } ] date is a Unix timestamp in milliseconds.
