screen blanking problem with 9.12a
by zentara - Aug 24th 2004 07:01:37
Hi, I've been using Claws for quite some time. I just upgraded to 9.12a and
notice a change from 9.12. When I click on "send" to send an
email, the main window goes blank momentarily during the send. This did not
happen with 9.12. I'm using fvwm2 under Linux. Sorry to post the bug
report here, but I couldn't find a bug report link anywhere.

But I think you should report the "Problem" to the Users-Mailinglist first
and check if it really is a bug, only a missconfiguration or problem with
your system.

Not MH compatible!
by Hacksaw - Jan 29th 2004 20:14:38
The documentation and the blurb suggests that sylpheed is MH compatible,
but it still doesn't maintain the MH sequences files! These are basic to
the operation of MH. The unseen sequence is THE WAY to record what has been
seen and what hasn't. The mh cli commands need it to work correctly.
I have been asking about this for like two years now. When's it going to
be there?

I have to say that it seems quite misleading for the front page to say:
"you'll be able to use it together with another mailer based on MH
format"
OK... maybe I can use it, but there will be problems. For
instance,If I delete an unseen message from an MH folder in sylpheed, mutt
continues to see a "new" message in that folder, though there are
none.
MH compatibility isn't really a feature request, IMO. A stated part of
sylpheed's functionality is broken. Fix it or not, but please don't
suggest that it's usable with other MH clients in the current state.
I am trying sylpheed for the first time in a long time
(sylpheed-claws-1.9.11) and it looks great. I really like it. And I'm most
likely going to find it unworkable, and dump it. :(

Importing Address book
by Kedaragowla - Jul 29th 2003 19:10:23
Hi,
I am a recent Linux convert and am experimenting with tools. Currently I
am using Evolution. I have installed Sylpheed and I am able to import the
mail boxes easily enough.
However I am not able to find a way to import my Evolution Address Book
(contact list). Is there any way to do this?
I also have the conacts as vcf file and csv file. Can I import them to
Sylphhed?
Thanks in advance!

awesome
by red_dragon - Jun 25th 2003 03:47:38
Sylpheed, especially claws, is the best mail program ever.
I testet a few now, but nothing can compare with it.
Only one think I dont understand:
I recently reinstalled my machine, and backed up my maildirectory and my
~/.sylpeed.
After reinstall I copied everything back, and it all worked, but now it
shows negative numbers at the "new", "unread" section
of mailfolders, instead of 2 unread and 2 new it shows something like -25
and -12.
What is this?

Sylpheed somehow got confused about the number of mails in the folder. You
can correct it by executing "Check for new messages" in the folder's popup
menu or "View/Update summary" in the main menu for every folder that has
wrong message counts.

You seem to have to be in the top mail account and all the subsequent
folders in that will be corrected. So it will have to be done on all mail
accounts.
I'm a new Sylpheed fan and am thrilled of the included spamassassin and
the recent plugins for my Libranet (Debian). I needed something serious out
of KDE/Gnome and like gtk+ a lot for its stability and cleanliness. It's
convincing. I also believe the design line has business dekstop appeal.

pgp signature filtering
by zentara - Mar 21st 2003 05:02:54
The topic of pgp signatures has come up on a mail list I subscribe to. Alot
of people seem to get annoyed with seeing 30 lines of pgp signature,
just
to read 1 line of content. Is there a way to filter the signatures out of
emails? If not, I would suggest it as a new feature to include in sylpheed.

What would a filter for sylpheed help the other people? Or do they all use
sylpheed?
Anyway the current standard for signing mails is PGP/MIME that has a clear
seperation of text and signature and a mailer that handles MIME correctly
should ignore the signature part and only show the text part. Sylpheed can
create PGP/MIME signatures and it should be prefered, because inline PGP
signatures have several problems that can easily make a signature
invalid.

Well the idea would be to recommend Sylpheed to
those who complain about it, (if Sylpheed could
filter it, that is). It just seems like it would be a useful feature,
considering how many people don't like looking at unwanted crypto
signatures .

slrn, tin, emacs/gnus and pan use it. It just stores what
you've subscribed to, and the messages unread for that
group. I quickly found this with google:

The format does not seem to be capable to handle multiple news servers. So
it would be complicated to use it for sylpheed. At least it would take some
time to work around this limitation. Maybe sylpheed can use it in the
future.

yes, run sylpheed with the --debug option and check the output when you try

Great Mail client

This product just keeps getting better. No feature creep (yet), but effort

One thing though. They might consider mirroring it somewhere a leeeetle
more robust than the current location, as your site obviously gets pounded

Keep up the great work.

The files from the main branch are now mirrored on the claws-branch's
SourceForge site. SourceForge should have sufficient mirrors. Download
links have been added to the normal sylpheed site so you can easily
download them from the mirrors.

This is a truly amazing e-mail client. It just works so well. It's
increased my efficiency greatly, while also offering the stability a man
like me requires constantly. I put unrealistic demands on my e-mail

beyond. I bless this project and wish it even greater success in the

sylpheed and news

Sylpheed is great for mail, it's a pleasure to use.
My request is that the news code be setup to
have an option to "download all bodies" so we can
use it to work offline. If possible, a setting for the
"max size of automatic downloads" would be cool, so
we can automatically download all message bodies
less than 1000 lines, for instance.

Sylpheed is the best for email, but for news groups...
by Jonathan Thorpe - Jul 14th 2002 22:26:14
Sylpheed is one of the best all round mail clients I have ever used, but I
can't call it the best news client yet (although I hope this changes
soon).
With binary news groups, it has problems decoding binary messages encoded
with uuencode. I've been told I can save the file and use uuencode to
convert the file into an attachment, but realistically, it's easier to use
another news client. Instead of handling these attachments, sylpheed says
"
begin 666 <filename>
<insert rubbish here>
end"
Other mail/news clients seem to handle this very well (e.g. Mozilla's news
client), what would it take Sylpheed to have the same functionality?
Please! Someone help us out here, there's too many ignorant O.E people out
there posting their bogus attachments that Sylpheed can't read, but
something still has to be done.

This about Gtk2 is not true. The newer toolkit is a lot more refined than
1.x, with better resource allocation, reference counting and so forth; I
find it efficient enough to run via C++ and interpreter bindings on my
machines which are a lot less than bleeding edge. The libraries are
slightly larger, but for the cost of proper unicode and text rendering, and
a much cleaned and improved toolkit, IMHO at least is worth it. (You want
proper text handling in an email client, yes?)
As far as porting, not many changes are required to upgrade to the newer
API, which is better organized and clearer. (As well, many deprecated
features from 1.x are still supported for the time being to help ease the
transition.)
And finally, lower end systems - the better they don't have two sets of
libraries floating around (Glib/Gtk/Gdk/Gdk-Pixbuf et al), no? There's
always pine...

You have to make sure that the attachment has the correct mime type. You
will need a mime.types file in /etc or if you have it somewhere else
configure sylpheed with the sysconfdir option and point it to the correct
directory. In Claws branch you can also set the mime type manually in the
compose dialog.

there is one that puts dillo (a very light web browser) with sylpheed
the patch is both for dillo and sylpheed
i think that if dillo add this patch to its source, sylpheed will have one
official option to use dillo
http://melvin.hadasht.free.fr/home/dillo/sylpheed/
also note that this patch is only for offline usage, iirc, that is, it
will not fetch images/scripts/anything that it isnt already in the mail

New feature
by Bloem - Dec 29th 2001 05:35:44
Are there plans to extend sylpheed so X509 certificates can be used ? This
can enable a user to encrypt or sign his e-mail. My experiences are that
there is a need for a reliable mail-client that uses such certificates.

There are plans to do this, but I have no time and too much other work to
do on sylpheed and so the work was not started yet. Just some pre work on
restructuring sylpheed's internals for easier integrarion of S/MIME have
been done.

sylpheed features
by Andrei Mircea - Dec 22nd 2001 11:03:13
I would appreciate very much being optionally able to leave the read
messages on my POP3 server. This is an option in all good mail readers. I
did not find it in Sylpheed !?

Go to 'Configuration' | 'Preferences for current account' | 'Recieve' and
uncheck 'Remove messages on server when recieved'. That should do the
trick.

Finally....
by Matt - Oct 29th 2001 10:10:35
I switched to Linux about a year ago, and until last month, I searched for
a good email client and couldn't find any. I don't know how I missed
sylpheed in my searches, but I found it and now the search is over. In
fact, it's such a great program that the Red Hat Linux 7.2 CDs include a
sylpheed RPM.
Excellent job, and keep up the good work!

Sylpheed is now my main mail proggie.
by skaro - Aug 19th 2001 06:02:37
For the last 4 years or so, I've been running XFMail. Of all the Unix
mail programs I've used in the past, I found that XFMail was the most fully
featured, and was very easy and comfortable to use.
(before XFMail, I used Exmh, which is also pretty
good, but the Tcl interface was kinda clunky, and
it didnt automate as many tasks)
From time to time i'd try other mailers, but none
were good enough to make me switch.
XFmail's original developer stopped working on it and it sat unmaintained
for a long time (about 2yrs). It was later picked up by a group that
decided it was their main mission to "port" XFMail from XForms to
GTK. In the meanwhile, they issued fixes and improvements to XFMail, but
nagging problems lingered. From posts on the XFMail mailing lists, it
seemed clear to me that they were more concered about the app's appearance
-- how it looked (theming and crap) than how it worked.
The main problem with XFMail, despite all it's features, and ease of use,
was that it crashes far too frequently -- often over conditions it would be
easy to test for. In fairness, I've never had XFMail _LOSE_ any mail,
but the crashing is annoying, and about 2/3rds of the time, it obliterates
the saved preferences, so you practically have to re-configure the entire
program.
Briefly, I switched to XCMail (using XClasses). While this program has a
lot of features, looks nice and is quite stable -- the interface just
doesnt feel well designed to me. This is not a
fault of XClasses, which seems to be a fine toolkit, but rather design
choices in XCMail.
Finally I tried Sylpheed, not expecting much. I was very pleasantly
suprised. It's very stable (hasnt crashed for me yet, after 5 mos of use)
-- and is nearly as easy to use as XFmail. There are some design quirks
that I dont care for, but for the forseeable future...this is my
mailer.
It's got all the features I could ask for -- tho,
were I programming it, I'd change the layout of a few of the controls.
This is a really outstanding program. I'm updating with every release
ASAP. It's much better than Cats! I'm going to download it, again and
again!

Sylpheed's the MUA I've been searching for...
by ronmon - Sep 2nd 2001 20:30:22
I must have tried a dozen different GUI mail clients over the years. In my
latest quest, I found Sylpheed and can stop looking now. It loads up in
about 2 seconds, uses my GTK theme, supports multiple accounts and is very
pleasant to use. GPG will be nice, but no problem, I can wait. Finally, a
lightweight, fast and well-featured mail proggy. Nice job.

More Praise
by rix - Oct 15th 2001 15:05:20
I, too have been using XFMail regularly in the past... untill the moment
development halted, that's when I started switching MUA's every other month
- and between my searches I used mutt...
everytime I thought I found a good one it turned against me after a short
while... I even was prepared to pay $$$ for a commercial mua if I could
find one...
Sylpheed is so fast and smooth it's incredible :-)
(Ok I admit, after upgrading from 0.6.2 to 0.6.3, it crashes when I drag a
message to a different folder, but I have complete faith that this will be
fixed in the next release)

I just did the same; seems really nice, even though it lacks a few

gnupg support is great. Though sylpheed depends on
official libraries from gnupg.org, those have not
been stabilized yet. :(

I don't know why this e-mail client gets rave reviews!?!? I ran it once as
root, and it worked fine.
Tried it as another user, and I always get:
bind: Permission denied
What's wrong with this program?

Nothing. Sylpheed creates a unix socket to communicate with the program .
When it is started twice it sends commands to the running program instead
of starting twice. You probably have not configured your system correcly
and sylpheed can not create the unix socket.

The best mail client (IMHO)
by James Greenhalgh - Dec 26th 2000 20:37:35
I've been using sylpheed since the early versions that used to explode from
time to time ;-) It's now easily the best client I've used on a system
(check out the multiple accounts support), and continues to mature. Nice
to see it uses GTK themes properly too :-)

One of the quickest, most robust GUI email/news clients I've seen. Only

Helix/Gnome experience
by Farmer Geoff - Sep 8th 2000 17:06:55
Although Sylpheed is not integrated into Gnome, it performs well on the
Helix/Gnome desktop. It is more bug-free than any of the GUI email clients
that I'm aware of. The claim of MH compatibility is particularly true. My
transition was no problem at all.

On the other hand, It's largely useless for me. I
installed the rpm's, and while it parse's my MH
mail boxes just fine, If I ask to send or reply to
a message, nothing comes up. I never get an edit
window, or even an indication that the buttons or
shortcut keys are working.
I tried installing the src rpm's and rebuilding
them, and get precisely the same behaviors.
I'm running redhat 6.2, not far off of the
author's system. Nothing in the compile complained.
I mentioned this to the author via e-mail when I
tried the 0.4.61 release, but got no reply.

It's extremely simple: Sending doesn't work, if you don't set up
preferences correctly (I mean smtp server name, user name, password to
connect to a server and send your letter). I understand why the author
didn't answer: It was a lame question, please read the README if you
want to use a program.
I think Sylpheed is the best and you bet I'm right, because I tried over
15 mail client before. Congratulations to Yamamoto, well done!

Well, there WAS a page on it that was really detailed, but I don't
have the link. It's not hard to find; try google.com and search for
"anti-micrsoft". If it eludes you, let me know.
