Gmail-TUI is a simple TUI application that aims to replicate the Gmail Web-UI in a TUI-Environment. Is this even possible? I don't even know yet but let's find out! Special thanks to Rivo for their TUI Library.
As shown above, today I was able to implement the composing and sending of Emails using this SMTP guide. The source-code is available in the Project-repository and modifying the code to enhance the project is most welcome!
Some Background
As scary as this is for me, here I am trying to do something new with my life: Publicly writing about my project so that I actually end up completing it and also hopefully getting the much needed feedback along the way!
Just a few days after I had installed Ubuntu, I lost the access to the GUI due to a failed and interrupted update. This led to me being forced to use the TTY-environment (started using the ctrl alt fkeys combination) and ending up feeling helpless for a long time as I had never used even the most basic Linux commands.
Months later, this experience led me to look into TUI or Terminal based User Interfaces, which run on Terminals and are like lighter versions of GUIs. This is where the idea of creating my own TUI-Application for Gmail came into mind as I was unable find one that could fit my use-case.
Required Features
To complete this lack of TUI-Application, I would like the Gmail-TUI to borderline replicate the web-version of Gmail, allowing users to perform most of the core tasks by providing following features/functionalities in it:
- A login page for entering email-ID and password
- Composing and sending mails - Implemented today!
- Listing received emails with email-IDs in the Inbox
- Opening the content of the received mail after clicking it
- Viewing sent email in Sent-Box
- A small panel on the left side to choose from the Compose, Inbox, Drafts, Sent buttons.
I will be trying to work on the login-page for now, where the user will enter their credentials, click on login and be redirected to the next page where they would be able to compose mails. Like the web-version, showing the Inbox after signing-in should be done but since I am still studying IMPS that will help with receiving emails, I will be using the Compose-mail section as the placeholder for now.

C and Golang: When Performance is CrucialApr 13, 2025 am 12:11 AMC is more suitable for scenarios where direct control of hardware resources and high performance optimization is required, while Golang is more suitable for scenarios where rapid development and high concurrency processing are required. 1.C's advantage lies in its close to hardware characteristics and high optimization capabilities, which are suitable for high-performance needs such as game development. 2.Golang's advantage lies in its concise syntax and natural concurrency support, which is suitable for high concurrency service development.
Golang in Action: Real-World Examples and ApplicationsApr 12, 2025 am 12:11 AMGolang excels in practical applications and is known for its simplicity, efficiency and concurrency. 1) Concurrent programming is implemented through Goroutines and Channels, 2) Flexible code is written using interfaces and polymorphisms, 3) Simplify network programming with net/http packages, 4) Build efficient concurrent crawlers, 5) Debugging and optimizing through tools and best practices.
Golang: The Go Programming Language ExplainedApr 10, 2025 am 11:18 AMThe core features of Go include garbage collection, static linking and concurrency support. 1. The concurrency model of Go language realizes efficient concurrent programming through goroutine and channel. 2. Interfaces and polymorphisms are implemented through interface methods, so that different types can be processed in a unified manner. 3. The basic usage demonstrates the efficiency of function definition and call. 4. In advanced usage, slices provide powerful functions of dynamic resizing. 5. Common errors such as race conditions can be detected and resolved through getest-race. 6. Performance optimization Reuse objects through sync.Pool to reduce garbage collection pressure.
Golang's Purpose: Building Efficient and Scalable SystemsApr 09, 2025 pm 05:17 PMGo language performs well in building efficient and scalable systems. Its advantages include: 1. High performance: compiled into machine code, fast running speed; 2. Concurrent programming: simplify multitasking through goroutines and channels; 3. Simplicity: concise syntax, reducing learning and maintenance costs; 4. Cross-platform: supports cross-platform compilation, easy deployment.
