I'm not using gtk2 sylpheed right now (I usually do, I'm on another comp), so I'm not sure if that's exactly where it is or whether it works.

Otherwise, it does everything I want. Don't worry, I'll keep up on the CVS commits and when it's ready, I'm there.

[newbie] GTK2 and Sylpheed Claws WORKS!
Sorry for the long post, but I am happy right now. I finally got sick and tired of that horrible GTK1 version of Sylpheed. It was really the only app I still used regularly that used it. So I went on a treasure hunt to find a gtk2 port of sylpheed, and guess what I found? Sylpheed-claws's cvs holds a gtk2 branch! I checked it out, compiled it, and tried it. It's even the newest version: 0.9.8. Check my X-Mailer: header. Anyway, I may make an RPM for it once I figure a couple more things out. Here's what you can do to get it yourself: 1. cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/sylpheed-claws login press enter when the password prompt comes up. 2. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/sylpheed-claws co -r gtk2 sylpheed-claws ^^^That is one line 3.change into the sylpheed-claws directory. 4. Open the file configure.ac and change line 63 from AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(config.h) to AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h) 5. Then save it, and run autogen.sh. type make, then become root and type make install.
