@versatly/zoho-mail-cli

Powerful CLI for Zoho Mail - inbox management, folders, labels, and email operations.

⚠️ Current Status: Partial Implementation

The CLI structure is complete, but most read operations are not yet functional due to limitations in the Zoho Mail MCP integration via Pipedream.

What Works

• ✅ Authentication (connect/disconnect via Pipedream OAuth)
• ✅ Send emails (via MCP tool)
• ✅ CLI structure for all operations

What Doesn't Work Yet

• ❌ List/read emails (MCP doesn't expose these endpoints)
• ❌ Folder management (create/delete/list)
• ❌ Label management (create/delete/list)
• ❌ Email operations (move/delete/flag/archive)

Solution Options

1. Extend pdauth - Add raw HTTP proxy support to call Zoho APIs directly
2. IMAP/SMTP - Use himalaya CLI with Zoho IMAP credentials
3. Direct token extraction - Extract OAuth token from Pipedream connection
