## 项目历史与用法

Neverest is a Rust CLI for synchronizing, backing up, and restoring email. It belongs to the Pimalaya family of open-source personal-information-management tools.

### 项目历史

The Neverest repository was initialized in April 2024. Its release feed records a `root` tag on 2024-04-10, v0.1.0 on 2024-04-15, and v1.0.0-beta shortly after. The v0.1.0 release note says the project was initiated from Himalaya CLI, which explains its place in the Pimalaya email-tool split.

### 采用历史

Neverest remains early and very niche as a packaged tool. GitHub showed roughly 310 stars and 11 forks when researched on 2026-07-01, while the Homebrew formula still packaged stable 0.1.0 and reported only 27 install-on-request events over 365 days.

### 使用方式

The upstream main-branch README documents unreleased v1 behavior and explicitly warns that v1 is not yet released, while Homebrew packages v0.1.0. The v1 docs describe IMAP, JMAP, and local m2dir backends; account initialization; `neverest sync`; dry runs; mailbox filters; per-side permissions; and an incremental cache under `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/neverest/<account>/state.json`.

For package nerds, the important bit is the backend model: Neverest is not just a mail fetcher, but a bidirectional sync engine with explicit local/remote sides and conservative controls for create/delete/update behavior. The packaging lag means users need to check which command surface their installed version actually exposes.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Neverest is significant inside the Pimalaya ecosystem because email sync moved out of Himalaya into a focused CLI. Outside that ecosystem, source evidence supports calling it experimental rather than widely adopted.

### 时间线

- 2024-04-10: Release feed shows initial `root` tag.
- 2024-04-15: v0.1.0 release note says Neverest was initiated from Himalaya CLI.
- 2024-09-03: Release feed shows v1.0.0-beta update.
- 2026-07-01: Homebrew formula API reported stable 0.1.0 and 27 install-on-request events over 365 days.

### Related projects

- Himalaya CLI is the parent/sibling email CLI from which Neverest's sync scope was split.
- Mirador is another Pimalaya CLI split focused on watching mailbox changes.
- m2m is referenced by Neverest as a Maildir-to-m2dir migration helper.
