The Sylpheed Email Client - what about claws?
The Sylpheed Email Client - what about claws?
Posted Aug 26, 2005 5:58 UTC (Fri) by mcatkins (subscriber, #4270)Parent article: The Sylpheed Email Client
I'm surprised that no-one (including the original article) has mentions Sylpheed-claws, the cutting edge version of sylpheed. It adds most of the extras people want (some multi-tasking, for example).
There are claws packages in debian, etc, as well normal sylpheed packages.
I've been using it for several years, and have not seen instabilities, despite the warnings on the webpages.

Sylpheed-claws is excellent, and I used to use it all the time. Finally, however, the lack of multi-threading when checking an IMAP server made me give it up.

the current sylpheed claws version finally use libetpan for imap, and so it doesnt block anymore on network operationsalso, the use of the libetpan improved the impa support, its now smarter and faster than the old engine

Even in Claws I can't find what I miss most in Sylpheed: virtual folders.

If you use IMAP with Maildir, or Sylpheed supports Maildir (don't know) - check Mairix.

Sounds interesting, but how to make it work with IMAP?
