1. What is Claws Mail?
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
Claws Mail (previously known as Sylpheed-Claws) is a lightweight and
|
||
highly configurable email client and news reader based on the GTK+
|
||
GUI toolkit, it runs on the X Window System.
|
||
|
||
Claws Mail is free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
|
||
|
||
To run Claws Mail use 'claws-mail' on the command line.
|
||
|
||
When claws-mail is executed for the first time a configuration
|
||
'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information
|
||
necessary to create a new account.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2. Plugins

||
----------
|
||
|
||
Claws Mail' capabilities are extended by plugins. It comes with
|
||
the following plugins included, all of which are built automatically
|
||
if the required libraries are present.

|
||
|
||
|
||
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 Claws Mail.
|
||
For example, Claws Mail does not include the rot13 cyphering algorithm
|
||
popular in some newsgroups. 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 Claws Mail
|
||
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". Claws Mail 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, Claws Mail
|
||
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
|
||
~/.claws-mail/actionsrc file (exit Claws Mail 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. Icon Themes
|
||
--------------
|
||
Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
|
||
downloaded from http://www.claws-mail.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 Claws Mail 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 Claws Mail 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 claws-mail 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
|
||
<20>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 Claws Mail's powerful
|
||
filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
|
||
from regexpcase "foo"
|
||
subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "claws-mail"
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
/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 "Claws Mail Actions"
|
||
(refer to "Actions" above) on your toolbar.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
* Configuration->Actions
|
||
- add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
|
||
* Configuration->Custom toolbar
|
||
- select Claws Mail Actions Feature
|
||
- select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
|
||
- choose an icon and click ok
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
9. Hidden options
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
bold_unread (default: 1)
|
||
show unread messages using bold font in summary view
|
||
0: off 1: on
|
||
|
||
cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
|
||
the maximum kB of memory Claws Mail 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.
|
||
|
||
cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)
|
||
the minimum time in minutes Claws Mail 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.
|
||
|
||
compose_no_markup (default: 0)
|
||
prevent italic and bold text in the Compose dialog
|
||
account selector
|
||
0: normal (markup) 1: no markup
|
||
|
||
enable_dotted_lines (default: 0)
|
||
Use the old dotted line look in the main window
|
||
GtkTreeView components, (Folder List and Message List),
|
||
instead of the modern lineless look.
|
||
|
||
enable_hscrollbar (default: 1)
|
||
enable horizontal scroll bar in summary view
|
||
0: off 1: on
|
||
|
||
enable_swap_from (default: 0)
|
||
display sender's email address in To column in Sent
|
||
folder instead of recipient's
|
||
0: off 1: on
|
||
|
||
folderview_vscrollbar_policy (default: 0)
|
||
specify the policy of vertical scroll bar of folder view
|
||
0: always 1: automatic 2: never
|
||
|
||
hover_timeout (default: 500)
|
||
time in milliseconds that will cause a folder tree to
|
||
expand during drag n drop when the mouse cover is held
|
||
over it
|
||
|
||
live_dangerously (default: 0)

11. How to contribute
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
You are encourged to send patches via the Claws Mail 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
|
||
<paul@claws-mail.org> or consider posting to the
|
||
Claws Mail-users mailing list.
|
||
http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php
|
||
|
||
Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
|
||
http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
|
||
|
||
Of course, you can also post to the Claws Mail-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
|
||
<paul@claws-mail.org>. We can probably arrange access to the
|
||
Claws Mail CVS tree.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
12. How to request features
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
|
||
Ask around in Claws Mail-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
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
13. Installing Claws Mail from CVS
|
||
--------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
a. Downloading
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
To download the latest cvs cd to the directory where you wish to download
|
||
to and type the following information:
|
||
|
||
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:cvs@sunsite.dk:/pack/anoncvs login
|
||
|
||
The password is cvs
|
||
|
||
After logging in:
|
||
|
||
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:cvs@sunsite.dk:/pack/anoncvs co -r gtk2 sylpheedclaws/sylpheed-claws
|
||
|
||
|
||
b. Installing
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
To compile and install use the following commands:
|
||
|
||
./autogen.sh [add configure options as required]
|
||
make
|
||
make install [as root]
|
||
|
||
You will need a full set of development tools installed to be able to run
|
||
autogen.sh. See also ac/README.
