Sylpheed is an e-mail client and news reader based on GTK+ GUI toolkit,
and runs on X Window System.

Sylpheed is a free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
The development of Sylpheed sets the following things as its goal:
* Quick response by keeping CPU and memory usage to a minimum
* Fast processing even though a folder contains large number of messages
(more than 10 thousand)
* Enables intuitive operation by simple, graceful, and well-polished
interface
* Similar operation methods to other mailers.
* Readily available with simple configuration
* Fully equipped with features required as a mailer
* Full support of Japanese, and support of i18n
* Enables flexible interaction with external commands
* Stable, and don't lose any data (to the utmost) in case of crash
The appearance and interface are similar to some popular e-mail clients for
Windows, such as Outlook Express, Becky!, and Datula. The interface is also
designed to emulate the Emacs-based mailers, and almost all commands are
accessible with the keyboard. So you will able to migrate to Sylpheed
without much discomfort in the case where you are accustomed to other
mailers.
The messages are managed by MH format, and you'll be able to use it together
with another mailer based on MH format (like Mew). It has less possibility
of losing mails on failures since one file corresponds to one mail. You can
import or export mbox format messages. You can also utilize fetchmail or/and
procmail, and external programs on receiving (like inc or imget).
Currently implemented major features

Usage
=====
Preparation before running
1. What is Sylpheed-Claws?
--------------------------
If you want to use characters other than English (aka US-ASCII),
you must specify some environmental variables related to locale.
For example:
Sylpheed-Claws is the extended version of Sylpheed, a lightweight and
highly configurable email client and news reader based on the GTK+ GUI
toolkit, it runs on the X Window System.
% export LANG=de_DE (sh, bash etc.)
Sylpheed-Claws is free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
or
To run Sylpheed-Claws use 'sylpheed-claws' on the command line.
% setenv LANG de_DE (csh, tcsh etc.)
When sylpheed-claws is executed for the first time a configuration
'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information necesary
to create a new account.
(replace de_DE to appropriate locale name)
If you don't want translated messages, set LC_MESSAGES to "C"
(and unset LC_ALL if specified).
How to run
2. Plugins
----------
Input `sylpheed' on a command line, or double-click the icon on a file
manager to execute.
Sylpheed-Claws' capabilities are extended by plugins. It comes with
the following plugins included, all of which, except SpamAssassin, are
built automatically if the required libraries are present.
Initial startup
---------------
Plugins are installed in $PREFIX/lib/sylpheed-claws/plugins/
and have a suffix of '.so'
To load a plugin go to '/Configuration/Plugins' and click
the 'Load Plugin' button.
Select the plugin that you want and click 'OK'
o Clam AntiVirus
Enables the scanning of message attachments in mail
received from a POP, IMAP or LOCAL account using Clam
AntiVirus. It can optionally delete the mail or save it
to a designated folder. Preferences can be found in
'/Configuration/PreferencesPlugins/Clam AntiVirus'.
Clam AntiVirus is available from http://clamav.sourceforge.net/
o Dillo HTML Viewer
Enables the viewing of html messages using the Dillo web
browser, version 0.7.0 or newer. It uses Dillo's --local
option by default for safe browsing. Preferences can be
found in '/Configuration/Preferences/Plugins/Dillo Browser'.
Dillo is available from http://www.dillo.org/
o MathML Viewer
Enables the viewing of attachments that have the
Content-Type 'text/mathml' using the GtkMathView widget
which is available from
http://helm.cs.unibo.it/mml-widget/
When Sylpheed is executed for the first time, it automatically creates the
configuration files under ~/.sylpheed/, and asks you the location of
mailbox. The default is ~/Mail. If some files which are non-MH format
already exist on the directory, you will have to specify another location.
o PGP/Core
Handles core PGP functions and is required by the PGP/Inline
and PGP/MIME plugins.
Uses GnuPG/GPGME, <ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/>
Required settings
o PGP/inline
Handles inline PGP signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, <ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/>
o PGP/MIME
Handles PGP/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, <ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/>
o SpamAssassin
Enables the scanning of incoming mail received from a POP,
IMAP or LOCAL account using SpamAssassin. It can optionally
delete mail identified as spam or save it to a designated
folder. Preferences can be found in '/Configuration/
Preferences/Plugins/SpamAssassin'.
SpamAssassin is available from http://spamassassin.org
Configure option:
--enable-spamassassin-plugin
o Trayicon
Places an icon in the system tray that indicates whether
you have any new mail. A tooltip also shows the current
new, unread and total number of messages
Additonal plugins can be found here:
http://claws.sylpheed.org/plugins.php
3. Actions
----------
The "actions" feature is a convenient way for the user to launch external
commands to process a complete message file including headers and body or
just one of its parts. It allows also the use of an external command to
filter the whole text or just a selected part in the message window or in
the compose window. This is a generic tool that allows to do any uncommon
actions on the messages, and thus extends the possibilities of Sylpheed-Claws.
For example, Sylpheed-Claws does not include the rot13 cyphering algorithm
popular in some newsgroups. It does not support natively armored
encryption or clear signing. It does not support uuencoded messages. As
all these features can be handled by external programs, the actions
provide a convenient way to use them from the menu bar.
a. Usage
--------
To create a new action, go to Configuration -> Actions.... The "Action
Creation" dialog offers to enter the Menu name that will trigger the
command. The created menu will be found in the Tools -> Actions submenu.
By inserting a slash / in the menu name, you create a submenu.
The command is entered in the Command line entry. Note that Sylpheed-Claws
stores every single email in a separate file. This allows to use the
following syntax for the command:
* %f denotes the file name of the selected message. If you selected more
than one, then the command will be launched for each message with
the appropriate file name
* %F denotes the list of the file names of the selected message. If only
one message is selected, this amounts to %f, but if more messages
are selected, then the command will be launched only once with the
list of the file names. (You can use both %f and %F in one command:
then the command will be launched for each selected message with
the name of this message and with the list of all selected
messages. I did not find a practical example for this.)
* %p denotes the current selected message part of a multipart message.
The part is decoded accordingly. If the message is not a multipart
message, it denotes the message body.
* Prepending >: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
input a text that you will enter in a dialog window.
* Prepending *: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
input a text that you will enter in a dialog window. But in
contrast to prepending >, the entered text is hidden (useful when
entering passwords).
* Appending an ampersand &: this will run the command asynchronously.
That means "fire and forget". Sylpheed-Claws won't wait for the
command to finish, nor will it catch its output or its error
messages.
* Prepending the vertical bar | (pipe-in): this will send the current
displayed text or the current selected text from the message view
or the compose window to the command standard input. The command
will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
* Appending the vertical bar | (pipe-out): this will replace the current
displayed text or the current selected text from the message window
or the compose window by the command standard output. The command
will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
Note: It is not possible to use actions containing %f, %F or %p from the
compose window.
When a command is run, and unless it is run asynchronously, Sylpheed will
be insensitive to any interaction and it will wait for the command to
finish. If the command takes too long (5 seconds), it will popup a dialog
window allowing to stop it. This dialog will also be displayed as soon as
the command has some output: error messages or even its standard output
when the command is not a "pipe-out" command. When multiple commands are
being run, they are run in parallel and each command output is separated
from the outputs of the others.
a. Examples
-----------
Here are some examples that are listed in the same syntax as used for
storing the actions list. You can copy and past the definition in your
~/.sylpheed-claws/actionsrc file (exit Sylpheed-Claws before). The syntax
is very simple: one line per action, each action contains the menu name
and the command line separated by a colon and a space ": "
Purpose: rot13 cyphering
Definition: Rot13: |tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M|
Details: This will apply the rot13 cyphering algorithm to the
(selected) text in the message/compose view.
Purpose: Decoding uuencoded messages
Definition: UUdeview: xdeview %F&
Details: xdeview comes with uudeview. If an encoded file is split in
multiple messages, just select them all and run the command.
Purpose: Display uuencoded image
Definition: Display uuencoded: uudec %f&
Details: Displays uuencoded files. The uudec[1] script can be found in
the 'tools' directory of the distribution package.
Purpose: Alter messages
Definition: Edit message: gvim -f %F
Details: Allows editing of any received message. Can be used to remove
unneeded message parts, etc.
Purpose: Pretty format
Definition: Par: |par 72Tbgjqw74bEe B=._A_a 72bg|
Details: par is a utility that can pretty format any text. It does a
very good job in indenting quoted messages, and justifying
text. Used when composing a message
Purpose: Browse
Definition: Part/Dillo: dillo %p&
Details: Browse the selected message part in Dillo.
Purpose: Clear Sign
Definition: GnuPG/Clear Sign: |gpg-sign-syl|
Details: Clear sign a message. The gpg-sign-syl[2] script is responsible
for asking the passphrase and for running gnupg.
Purpose: Verify Clear Signed
Definition: GnuPG/Verify: |gpg --no-tty --verify
Details: Verify clear signed messages. The result is displayed in the
actions output dialog.
Purpose: Decrypt ASCII Armored
Definition: GnuPG/Decrypt: *gpg --no-tty --command-fd 0 --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt %f|
Details: Decrypt ASCII armored messages. The passphrase is entered
into the opened action's input dialog.
[1] The uudec script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
distribution package. It needs uudecode and ImageMagick's display. The
latter can be replaced by any image viewer that can get input from
standard input. The script could also be modified to use temporary files
instead of standard input.
[2] The gpg-sign-syl script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
distribution package.
4. Icon Themes
--------------
Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
downloaded from http://claws.sylpheed.org/themes.php
You will need to create a directory called 'themes' in your config
directory, unpack them into this directory, and then use the interface
to select them, /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Themes
This interface can also be used to install new themes.
5. Spell Checking
-----------------
a. Requirements
b. Configuration and installation
c. Usage
d. Known problems
a. Requirements
---------------
The spell checker in Sylpheed-Claws requires the GNU/aspell library
(http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell), version 0.50 or newer.
You also need the dictionaries. Check GNU/aspell home page for how
to download and install them.
NB: The old dictionaries used by the old aspell will not work.
b. Configuring Claws
--------------------
Spell checking is enabled automatically if the aspell executable is
found. If it is in unusual places, use '--with-aspell-prefix' to state
the path to the aspell executable. E.g., if aspell's full path is
/foo/bar/bin/aspell, then use:
./configure --with-aspell-prefix=/foo/bar
The '--with-aspell-prefix=PREFIX' option will let the configure
script search for includes and libraries in PREFIX/include and PREFIX/lib.
You can also manually specify the includes and libraries path by using
either following options:
--with-aspell-includes=/foo/bar/include
and/or
--with-aspell-libs=/rab/oof/lib
as appropriate.
The configure script summarizes the options compiled in. Check that
it lists 'GNU/aspell = yes'.
Then proceed as usual, with 'make' and 'make install'.
c. Usage
--------
After successful compiling, you need to tell Sylpheed-Claws where your
dictionaries reside. The configure script should have found it, but in
case it did not, run 'aspell config dict-dir' on the shell to get the
path to the dictionaries.
Then run Sylpheed and go to /Configuration/Preferences/Compose/Spell Checking.
Check the box 'Enable spell checker' and use the directory selector to select
the path where the dictionaries reside. Within the file selector, go to that
directory and select *any* file in the file lists. Click OK. Then, you should
be able to select your default dictionary.
When composing, misspelled words are highlighted. Click on any
highlighted word with the right mouse button to get a list of
suggestions. The first entry of the menu just displays the unknown
word. Selecting 'Accept in this session' (or hitting MOD1-Space,
where MOD1 is usually the ALT key) will ignore this word and accept
it in this message. Selecting the next entry, "Add to dictionary", which
is bound to MOD1-Enter combination, will add the unknown word to your
personal dictionary to learn it. The next entries are the suggested words.
The first 15 suggestions can be accessed by typing one of the first letters
of Latin alphabet (if this does not suit your language, please send
a mail to melvin.hadasht@free.fr). Aspell has a 'learn from mistake'
function that can be used by pressing the MOD1 key and selecting the
suggestion (with the keyboard or with the mouse). See GNU/aspell manual
§6.3 for an explanation of this feature (also called 'replacement storing').
If you click with the right mouse button everywhere else, or if you
shift-right-click even on a misspelled word, you get the
configuration menu. 'Check all' highlights all misspelled words.
With this menu, you can also change the dictionary while editing.
Finally, you can change the suggestion mode, and the learn from
misktakes feature.
Spell checking can also be done using keyboard shortcuts. In the
'Edit' menu of the compose window, there are two menus 'Check backwards
misspelled word' and 'Forward to next misspelled word'. Add to them
appropriate keyboard shortcuts. 'Check backwards misspelled word'
checks backwards from cursor position for the first misspelled word.
If it finds one, it displays the suggestions lists which can be handled
with the keyboard as described before. When the suggestion menu is
closed, the cursor returns to its original position to be able to
continue editing. The 'Forward to next misspelled word' do the same
thing in the other direction but moves the cursor at the end of the
misspelled word. This way, you can spell check easily a whole message
starting from its beginning and using the 'Forward to next misspelled
word' keyboard short cut.
6. Quick Search with extended search
------------------------------------
Quick Search, with its powerful Extended search function,
enables searching through folder's messages.
Extended Search allows one to define criteria that messages must
have in order to match and be displayed in the summary view pane.
Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
Search type extended allows one to use Sylpheed's powerful
filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
from regexpcase "foo"
subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "sylpheed-claws"
Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
immediately recognise most of the available patterns:
Pattern Parameter Selects
----------------------------------------------------
a all messages
ag # messages whose age is greater than #
al # messages whose age is lower than #
b S messages which contain S in the message body
B S messages which contain S in the whole message
c S messages carbon-copied to S
C S message is either to: or cc: to S
D deleted messages
e S messages which contain S in the Sender field
E S true if execute "S" succeeds
f S messages originating from user S
F forwarded messages
h S messages which contain header S
i S messages which contain S in Message-Id header
I S messages which contain S in inreplyto header
L locked messages
n S messages which are in newsgroup S
N new messages
O old messages
r messages which have been replied to
R read messages
s S messages which contain S in subject
se # messages whose score is equal to #
sg # messages whose score is greater than #
sl # messages whose score is lower than #
Se # messages whose size is equal to #
Sg # messages whose size is greater than #
Ss # messages whose size is smaller than #
t S messages which have been sent to S
T marked messages
U unread messages
x S messages which contain S in References header
y S messages which contain S in X-Label header
# means number
S means regexp string
It is possible to use logical operators AND (&), OR (|) and
NOT (! or ~). Case sensitive search is achieved with %.
Examples:
T marked messages
U unread messages
f "john beavis" messages from john beavis
%f "John Beavis" messages from John Beavis (case sensitive)
~s foo messages which do not have foo in the subject
f foo & ~s bar messages from foo that do not have bar in thesubject
7. Custom toolbar
-----------------
Initially, you have to create at least one account to send or receive
messages (you can read messages that already exist without creating
accounts). The configuration dialog will be shown by clicking
"Configuration -> Create new account..." on the menu, or "Account" on
the toolbar. Then, fill the required settings.
/Configuration/Preferences/Customize Toolbars lets you define the
toolbar you want. The configuration dialog enables you to set an icon,
an appropriate text, and map an action to it. Actions to choose
from are predefined. You can also have your "Sylpheed-Claws Actions"
(refer to "Actions" above) on your toolbar.
Refer to the manual supplied with this program for the general usage.
Example:
* Configuration->Actions
- add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
* Configuration->Custom toolbar
- select Sylpheed Actions Feature
- select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
- choose an icon and click ok
Hidden settings
---------------
You can configure most of the features in Sylpheed through the preferences
dialog, but there are a few parameters which don't have user interface
(you don't have to modify them in normal use). You must edit
~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc by an editor when Sylpheed is not running.
8. Partial downloading of POP3 mails
------------------------------------
Messages over the configured size limit, (/[Account preferences]/
Receive/Message size limit), will be partially retrieved. These
messages will have a Notice View displayed (above the Message View),
informing of the partially retrieved state and the total size of the
message. The Notice View will also contain two buttons, 'Mark for
download' and 'Mark for deletion'. If the user clicks 'Mark for
download', the message will be downloaded in full at the next message
retrieval, (and the partial one deleted); if the user checks 'Mark for
deletion' it will be removed from the server after the normal delay
as specified in the POP3 account's 'Receive' preferences.
If a user moves a partially retrieved message to the Trash folder
it will be deleted on the server at the next retrieval after the
Trash folder has been emptied.
allow_jisx0201_kana allow JIS X 0201 Kana (half-width kana) on
sending.
0: off 1: on [default: 0]
bold_font bold font used in folder, summary and text view
small_font small font used in summary view etc.
enable_hscrollbar enable horizontal scroll bar in summary view
0: off 1: on [default: 1]
bold_unread show unread messages using bold font in
summary view
0: off 1: on [default: 1]
folderview_vscrollbar_policy specify the policy of vertical scroll bar
of folder view
0: always 1: automatic 2: never [default: 0]
Information
===========
You can check the newest version and information about Sylpheed at:
http://sylpheed.good-day.net/
9. Hidden options
-----------------
There's also the manual of Sylpheed written by
Yoichi Imai <yoichi@silver-forest.com> on:
allow_jisx0201_kana (default: 0)
allow JIS X 0201 Kana (half-width kana) on sending.
0: off 1: on
http://y-imai.good-day.net/sylpheed/
bold_unread (default: 1)
show unread messages using bold font in summary view
0: off 1: on
Feedback
========
color_new (default: 0000b3 (blue))
color (as hex triplet) of folder name when indicating
presence of new messages
Comments, ideas and (most of all) bug reports (and especially patches) are
very welcome.
cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
the maximum kB of memory sylpheed should use.
It will try to keep the memory usage below this
value, but it will always use the assigned
amount of memory for speed gain.
Anonymous cvs
=============
cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)
the minimum time in minutes sylpheed will keep
the folder cache in memory. If a cache is more
recent than this time it will not be freed even
if the memory usage is above the maximum. You
should probably set this value higher than your
mail check interval. Otherwise the cache will
always be freed between checks even if the folder
is accessed on every check, which will cause much
disk IO.
You can get the newest source code with the anonymous cvs.
enable_hscrollbar (default: 1)
enable horizontal scroll bar in summary view
0: off 1: on
First, set your CVSROOT environment variable to:
enable_rules_hint (default: 1)
enable alternate coloring of items in GtkTreeView
0: off 1: on
:pserver:anonymous@sylpheed.good-day.net:/cvsroot/sylpheed

11. How to contribute
---------------------
You are encourged to send patches via the Sylpheed-Claws sourceforge
project's Patch Tracker.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=384600&group_id=25528&func=browse
If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan
<twb@users.sourceforge.net> or consider posting to the
Sylpheed-Claws-users mailing list.
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sylpheed-claws-users
Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/sylpheed-claws/bugzilla/index.cgi
Of course, you can also post to the Sylpheed-Claws-users mailing list.
Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
a long time to stabilise, send a mail to Paul Mangan
<twb@users.sourceforge.net>. We can probably arrange access to the
Sylpheed-Claws CVS tree.
12. How to request features
---------------------------
Ask around in Sylpheed-Claws-users ML. Note that some developers may
have already thought about your feature, may,perhaps, be implementing it,
or the feature was already discussed and rejected for whatever reason.
You might want to go ahead and hack a patch for it. (That would be very
cool!) Another possibility is to use the Feature Request Tracker at the
sourceforge project.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=25528&atid=384601
