I believe I need mailboxmdir-- I want to share my current mail folder from my current Thunderbird with Sylpheed-Claws, until I determine if I want to switch. According to package.mask, the version of this plugin that works with 1.9.9 would be masked (and was masked during my original borked install), but now does not appear in Portage at all, masked or otherwise. This seemed to happen about the time the sylpheed-gtk2 package was upgraded (like the day after I had installed it), so I assumed that the plugin broke, and thus was removed. But since I don't know what I'm doing in this regard, I could be wrong. I did ask the list how to deal with this, and it was suggested to just switch to IMAP, but I know even less about that :) . Naturally, this whole thing is not urgent, as Thunderbird is working fine for what I ask of it, but Sylpheed-Claws seems as if it might have features that I definitely have noticed that Thunderbird lacks. But I don't so much want to convert my current mailbox folder or have to manage a copy of same, without knowing if the program suits me. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
