This may not be exactly right, but essentially the history is as follows: Sylpheed was the original GTK1 mail client. At some point, there was either a fork or a development version called Sylpheed-Claws. The original Sylpheed became a GTK2 mail client called Sylpheed2. Sylpheed-Claws then changed its name to Claws-mail to avoid confusion, with apparently debatable results. :-) So, today there is Sylpheed2 and Claws-Mail. I use Claws-Mail and Mutt. All the various claws-mail-* ports are extra plugins. It also appears the pkg-descr for Claws-Mail needs to be updated to reference the name change as well as the correct website, www.claws-mail.org. I have prepared a patch for the maintainer and will submit it via GNATS. HTH. -- Chess Griffin GPG Public Key: 0x0C7558C3 http://www.chessgriffin.com signature.asc Description: PGP signature
mailer question #2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Well, assuming that I can't get enigmail-seamonkey fixed up, I was wondering if I could get a recommendation about a mailer. This following is my list of requirements, so please don't lets open up a mailer free-for-all (I like the ACME mailer!) unless it has what I'm after, ok? Seeing as I initially liked Seamonkey, it should surprise noone that I want a graphical UI (no ascii interface, please, I don't care how much you like it) and it works with the latest version of the gnupg port (version 2.04) and not the older gnupg1 port, so I can use my present keys to sign/encrypt stuff. Lastly, I has to allow for an imap interface to the mail. That's all: GUI, GNUpg-2.04, and IMAPv4 I didn't mean it provides the IMAPv4, I use dovecot/postfix/openssl to set up a nicely portable system environment, just that my adding GNUpg has made problems for myself, so I need a new mail client. Any mailers handling those 3 requirements? -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHZ0xuz62J6PPcoOkRAuUWAJ4vl0hAe8C+dmfsEYJTR7HAp26slgCfR1mH y/j1YrL6FTenFgw0ONYjPi8= =U5li -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Lastly, I has to allow for an imap interface to the mail. That's all: GUI, GNUpg-2.04, and IMAPv4 mail/mulberry The best MUA I've ever used, and it meets all three of your requirements easily. The one complaint users consistently have (but not me!) about it is that it doesn't do HTML email (meaning that it won't display the images inline and won't run scripts.) It's the geek's email client, loaded with useful features such as a single new mail folder that displays *all* new mail regardless of account or folder (so you seldom have to expand your account folders), multiple identities, the ability to lock accounts to specific signatures, identities and smtp servers so replies are automatically correct, unlimited accounts with no sharing of inboxes or other folders, effortless handling of both POP and IMAP4 regardless of folder size and/or message size, and, well, I could go on and on but I won't. Mulberry *was* closed source but is now open source and is actively developed. It handles iCal, WebDav Cal, IMSP, ACAP and LDAP addressbooks and several other protocols including Sieve filtering. I use it to access Exchange (IMAP), Cyrus IMAP, Courier IMAP and two different POP accounts. You might love it. You might hate it. But you should definitely try it.
