-<h2><a name="s2">2. Sylpheed-Claws FAQ - Installation and Configuration</a></h2>
-<h2><a name="ss2.1">2.1 Q01 What does it take to compile Sylpheed-Claws?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. Any POSIX compliant UNIX or similar OS eg. Linux,
-FreeBSD, Solaris
-GTK+ 1.2.6 or later
-A recent ANSI C compiler (gcc 2.95 should also
-work).
-Optionally:
-</p>
-<ul>
- <li>libcompface (for X-Face)</li>
- <li>libjconv (for I18N)</li>
- <li>GPGME (for GnuPG)</li>
- <li>OpenSSL (for SSL support)<br>
- </li>
- <li>libetpan (for IMAP support)</li>
- <li>libgnomeprintui (for real printing support)</li>
- <li>aspell (for spell checking)</li>
- <li>the equivalent of GTK+-devel and Xfree86-devel.</li>
-</ul>
-Otherwise ./configure will fail.
-<h2><a name="ss2.2">2.2 Q02 How do I set up Sylpheed-Claws?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. When you run Sylpheed-Claws for the first time, it will
-ask you where you want to store your mailboxes. The
-default is <homedir>/Mail. You can change this to
-anything you like as long as it is a valid directory
-name.
-</p>
-<p>Please note: When Sylpheed-Claws is executed for the first time, it
-automatically creates the configuration files under
-$HOME/.sylpheed-gtk2/, and asks you the location of mailbox. The
-default is $HOME/Mail. If some files which are non-MH format already
-exist on the directory, you will have to specify another location.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.3">2.3 Q03 Why did the creation of the mailbox fail?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. Sylpheed-Claws reports such an error if it can't create the
-default
-mailboxes (inbox, outbox, etc ...). This can be because
-<homedir>/Mail
-already contains files with the same names. This occurs when switching
-from
-Kmail to Sylpheed-Claws, in this case backup and remove the existing
-Mail
-directory or use another name for the Sylpheed-Claws mail directory.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.4">2.4 Q04 How do I set up an account?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. After loading Sylpheed-Claws for the first time, you should
-already have an account, as defined by the wizard. However you can
-add an e-mail account by clicking the
-"Configuration" menu. Select the option "Create new
-account" and fill in the appropriate fields.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.5">2.5 Q05 How many accounts can I set up in Sylpheed-Claws?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. The number is unlimited. The limit is reached when
-your computer stops responding.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.6">2.6 Q06 Why does Sylpheed-Claws not delete my mails
-when I press "delete"? I set a filter, and Sylpheed-Claws does not
-filter. I moved a mail to a different mailbox and it did not move.</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. You have to click the "execute" button.
-The other solution: in the configuration settings
-(Preferences -> Summaries tab) you have to
-check the "execute commands immediately" box.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.7">2.7 Q07 Can I set up special addresses/ports for my
-mailserver / newsserver?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. Yes, you can. In the configuration per account you
-can specify the exact port addresses you want to use.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.8">2.8 Q08 Does Sylpheed-Claws have options for
-threading messages?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. Yes. You can switch it on and off in the Summary
-Menu, just select "Thread View" or press Ctrl+T.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.9">2.9 Q09 Can I create multiple levels of subfolders
-to store mail?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. Absolutely. This is no problem.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.10">2.10 Q10 Why isn't Sylpheed-Claws sending my mail
-out?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. You need to create at least one account in order to
-send. (This is a wonderful gotcha on LAN installs
-with only a local mailbox feed).
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.11">2.11 Q11 How do I apply a patch after downloading
-it?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. Copy patch to sylpheed directory
-Apply the patch:
-</p>
-<p><code>% patch -p0 < some.patch</code>
-</p>
-<p>Or, if it's gzipped:
-</p>
-<p><code>% gzip -dc some.patch.gz | patch -p0</code>
-</p>
-<p>Run <code>./autogen.sh</code>, remove the generated <code>/config.cache</code>
-file (unless you want to install in prefix
-<code>/usr/local</code>).
-Run <code>./configure</code> with the appropriate options and
-then <code>make</code>.
-(Text as found on the Sylpheed patches page.)
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.12">2.12 Q12 How do I compile in support for compface
-pictures?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. You have to have a package called <code>libcompface</code>
-installed, so this is available for compiling into
-Sylpheed.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.13">2.13 Q13 How do I make my own compface image?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. The faces package contains a program called xbm2ikon script,
-which converts a 48x48 xbm to the format suitable for
-compface. Thanks to Jeff Dairiki, you can have a complete online course
-in this. Visit <a href="http://www.dairiki.org/xface/">this page</a>
-for the details.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.14">2.14 Q14 How can I tell my
-browser/newsclient/other program to use Sylpheed as e-mail program?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. In the settings part of the program, write
-<code>sylpheed --compose</code>
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.15">2.15 Q15 How do I enable GPG support in Sylpheed-Claws?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. When compiling Sylpheed, make sure you you have gpgme >= 0.4.5
-available before running the ./configure command.
-When that completes successfully, there is a "privacy" section in the
-Common preferences.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.16">2.16 Q16 Mutt does not recognize Sylpheed-Claws's
-MH structure</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. For this to work you need to use the "touch" command in every MH
-folder. "touch" the file .xmhcache and Mutt should do just fine.
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.17">2.17 Q17 Viewing a GIF file within Sylpheed-Claws
-causes a segmentation fault.</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. In case this happens, you can easily fix that by adding the
-following to /etc/mime.types:
-</p>
-<p><code>image/gif gif</code>
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.18">2.18 Q18 How can I make Sylpheed-Claws notify me
-when new mail arrives?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. For this you can do several things:
-</p>
-<p>* Look at the Sylpheed patch page at <a
- href="http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/sylpheed/">http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/sylpheed/</a>
-for a new mail patch.
-</p>
-<p>* Download Gkrellm or a similar program that is able to notify you
-of new incoming mail. Gkrellm is available at <a
- href="http://www.gkrellm.net">the Gkrellm page</a></p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.19">2.19 Q19 Can I use a spell checker with Sylpheed-Claws?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. Yes. You can use aspell for this if it is compiled in.<br>
-</p>
-<h2><a name="ss2.20">2.20 Q20 How can I make Sylpheed-Claws send my
-compface image in the mails?</a>
-</h2>
-<p>A. In the Configuration menu, Preferences for current account, Send
-tab, check Add user-defined header and press Edit button. A dialog
-appears, add a header named "X-Face" and fill the value field with your
-face data. Note that if you paste the data from a terminal into the
-field some spurious newlines can be added, and these can mangle your
-face, be careful.
