But that's configurable. 4) Deleting a mail takes a *very* long time in claws compared to vanilla 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: Spell check works too, if you add --enable-aspell to configure. 1. cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/sylp heed-claws login press enter when the password prompt comes up. 2. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/sylp heed-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.
