43 1. What is Claws Mail?
44 --------------------------
46 Claws Mail (previously known as Sylpheed-Claws) is a lightweight and
47 highly configurable email client and news reader based on the GTK+
48 GUI toolkit, it runs on the X Window System.
50 Claws Mail is free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
52 To run Claws Mail use 'claws-mail' on the command line.
54 When claws-mail is executed for the first time a configuration
55 'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information
56 necessary to create a new account.
62 Claws Mail' capabilities are extended by plugins. It comes with
63 the following plugins included, all of which are built automatically
64 if the required libraries are present.
66 Plugins are installed in $PREFIX/lib/claws-mail/plugins/
67 and have a suffix of '.so'
68 To load a plugin go to '/Configuration/Plugins' and click
69 the 'Load Plugin' button.
70 Select the plugin that you want and click 'OK'
72 All plugin preferences can be found under
73 '/Configuration/Preferences/Plugins/'.
76 Notifies of new mail via the mail LED available on some laptops. The
77 LED can be set to blinking or on states when new mail is received.
78 Appropriate kernel modules have to be loaded first for this plugin to
79 work. Laptops supported are from ACER (acerhk and acer_acpi modules),
80 ASUS (asus_laptop and asus_acpi), IBM (ibm_acpi), Lenovo (tm_smapi)
81 and Fujitsu (apanel) manufacturers.
84 Saves mail addresses typed in the 'To', 'Cc' or 'Bcc' fields of
85 outgoing messages to a designated folder in the address book.
86 Addresses are saved only if not already present in the address book.
89 Archives mail folders using libarchive library. Folders can be archived
90 with or without compression (ZIP, GZIP or BZIP2) and also in several
91 formats (TAR, SHAR, PAX or CPIO).
92 Libarchive is available from http://www.libarchive.org/.
95 Selectively removes attachments from messages. Messages are permanently
96 modified by using this feature, so be careful!
99 Warns the user of possibly forgotten attachments when some keywords
100 are found in the outgoing messages. False positives (being warned when
101 no attachment is realy needed) exist, but some configuration options
102 can help to reduce their probability.
105 Enables the scanning of incoming mail received from a POP,
106 IMAP, or LOCAL account using Bogofilter. It can optionally
107 delete mail identified as spam or save it to a designated folder.
108 Bogofilter is a pure Bayesian filter, therefore it has better
109 speed performance than SpamAssassin but might catch less spam.
110 Bogofilter is available from http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/.
113 Checks all messages received from IMAP, POP or local accounts using
114 BSFilter, a bayesian spam filter program, which has to be installed
115 locally. Messages identified as spam can be deleted or saved to a
117 Bsfilter is available from http://sourceforge.jp/projects/bsfilter/.
120 Uses the Clam AntiVirus in daemon mode to scan received messages from
121 IMAP, POP or local accounts. Scanning is done through a socket to the
122 daemon, so it has to be previously configured to allow this.
123 Clam AntiVirus is available from http://www.clamav.net/.
126 Modifies downloaded messages and inserts special headers containing
127 some download information: UIDL, Claws Mail account name, POP server,
128 user ID and retrieval time. These headers can be used later for more
129 elaborate filtering or processing rules.
132 Renders HTML mails and HTML parts of multipart messages using the GTK+
133 port of the WebKit library. External content is blocked by default
134 (including images) to avoid remote tracking, but can be enabled either
135 globally or just on the displayed message.
136 GTK+ WebKit is available from http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/.
139 Includes your Gmail account contacts in the list generated for
140 Tab-address completion on compose window, using the GData library.
141 Gdata library is available from https://live.gnome.org/libgdata/.
144 Handles mailboxes in Mbox format using the libEtPan! library. Mbox
145 files can be added to the folder tree and used like regular mailboxes.
146 LibEtPan! is available from http://www.etpan.org/.
149 Manage sieve filters on a server using the ManageSieve protocol.
152 Writes a header summary to a log file for each mail received after
153 sorting. The file for the summary is ~/Mail/NewLog.
156 Provides various ways of notifying the user of new and unread email.
157 Current methods include: a banner, a popup window, a user command,
158 a message to a LCD daemon, a system tray icon and an indicator icon.
159 Sound notifications are also possible through libcanberra. Each method
160 can be customized in detail through the plugin preferences.
161 Indicator library is available from https://launchpad.net/libindicator/
162 and libcanberra from http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libcanberra/.
165 Extends the filtering possibilities of Claws Mail. Provides a Perl 5
166 interface to Claws Mail's filtering mechanism, allowing the use of full
167 Perl power in email filters. A conversion script is provided to
168 translate user rules into perl rules suitable for this plugin.
169 Perl is available from http://www.perl.org/.
172 Displays Portable Document Format (PDF) and PostScript attachments
173 within the message view using Poppler. PostScript attachments are
174 converted to PDF on the fly by the 'gs' tool, which has to be installed
175 first. The 'gs' tool is available from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/.
176 The Poppler library is available from http://poppler.freedesktop.org/.
179 Handles core PGP functions and is required by the PGP/Inline
180 and PGP/MIME plugins.
181 Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
184 Handles inline PGP signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
185 decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
186 own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
189 Handles PGP/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
190 decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
191 own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
194 Provides Python scripting access to Claws Mail functions. A testing
195 console is also featured. Scripts can be saved to specific folders
196 for automatic loading on startup or being available as new menu items
197 under the '/Tools/Python scripts' menu.
198 Python is available from http://python.org/.
201 Creates mailboxes where newsfeeds in RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 or Atom format
202 can be added. Each newsfeed will create a folder with the appropriate
203 entries, fetched from the web. You can read them, and delete or keep
207 Handles S/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can decrypt mails,
208 verify signatures or sign and encrypt your own mails.
211 Scans incoming mail received from a POP, IMAP or LOCAL account using
212 SpamAssassin. It can optionally delete mail identified as spam or save
213 it to a designated folder.
214 SpamAssassin is available from http://spamassassin.apache.org/.
217 Reports spam messages to online spam harvesting sites. Sites suported
218 are http://www.signal-spam.fr/ and http://www.spamcop.net/. The Debian
219 mailing list spam nomination system is also supported.
222 Decodes attachments with 'application/ms-tnef' MIME type (also known
223 as "winmail.dat" files) in Claws Mail, using the ytnef library.
224 Decoded parts can be saved to files.
225 The ytnef library is available from http://ytnef.sourceforge.net/.
228 Displays vCalendar messages. Only the meeting subset of the vCalendar
229 format is currently supported, which includes planning, sendding and
230 receiving invitations and answering them. Public calendar (WebCal)
231 subscriptions, free/busy information export/import and reminding of
232 events is also supported.
235 Additonal plugins can be found here:
236 http://www.claws-mail.org/plugins.php
241 The "actions" feature is a convenient way for the user to launch external
242 commands to process a complete message file including headers and body or
243 just one of its parts. It allows also the use of an external command to
244 filter the whole text or just a selected part in the message window or in
245 the compose window. This is a generic tool that allows to do any uncommon
246 actions on the messages, and thus extends the possibilities of Claws Mail.
247 For example, Claws Mail does not include the rot13 cyphering algorithm
248 popular in some newsgroups. It does not support uuencoded messages. As
249 all these features can be handled by external programs, the actions
250 provide a convenient way to use them from the menu bar.
255 To create a new action, go to Configuration -> Actions.... The "Action
256 Creation" dialog offers to enter the Menu name that will trigger the
257 command. The created menu will be found in the Tools -> Actions submenu.
258 By inserting a slash / in the menu name, you create a submenu.
260 The command is entered in the Command line entry. Note that Claws Mail
261 stores every single email in a separate file. This allows to use the
262 following syntax for the command:
264 * %f denotes the file name of the selected message. If you selected more
265 than one, then the command will be launched for each message with
266 the appropriate file name
267 * %F denotes the list of the file names of the selected message. If only
268 one message is selected, this amounts to %f, but if more messages
269 are selected, then the command will be launched only once with the
270 list of the file names. (You can use both %f and %F in one command:
271 then the command will be launched for each selected message with
272 the name of this message and with the list of all selected
273 messages. I did not find a practical example for this.)
274 * %p denotes the current selected message part of a multipart message.
275 The part is decoded accordingly. If the message is not a multipart
276 message, it denotes the message body.
277 * Prepending >: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
278 input a text that you will enter in a dialog window.
279 * Prepending *: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
280 input a text that you will enter in a dialog window. But in
281 contrast to prepending >, the entered text is hidden (useful when
283 * Appending an ampersand &: this will run the command asynchronously.
284 That means "fire and forget". Claws Mail won't wait for the
285 command to finish, nor will it catch its output or its error
287 * Prepending the vertical bar | (pipe-in): this will send the current
288 displayed text or the current selected text from the message view
289 or the compose window to the command standard input. The command
290 will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
291 * Appending the vertical bar | (pipe-out): this will replace the current
292 displayed text or the current selected text from the message window
293 or the compose window by the command standard output. The command
294 will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
296 Note: It is not possible to use actions containing %f, %F or %p from the
299 When a command is run, and unless it is run asynchronously, Claws Mail
300 will be insensitive to any interaction and it will wait for the command to
301 finish. If the command takes too long (5 seconds), it will popup a dialog
302 window allowing to stop it. This dialog will also be displayed as soon as
303 the command has some output: error messages or even its standard output
304 when the command is not a "pipe-out" command. When multiple commands are
305 being run, they are run in parallel and each command output is separated
306 from the outputs of the others.
311 Here are some examples that are listed in the same syntax as used for
312 storing the actions list. You can copy and past the definition in your
313 ~/.claws-mail/actionsrc file (exit Claws Mail before). The syntax
314 is very simple: one line per action, each action contains the menu name
315 and the command line separated by a colon and a space ": "
317 Purpose: rot13 cyphering
318 Definition: Rot13: |tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M|
319 Details: This will apply the rot13 cyphering algorithm to the
320 (selected) text in the message/compose view.
322 Purpose: Decoding uuencoded messages
323 Definition: UUdeview: xdeview %F&
324 Details: xdeview comes with uudeview. If an encoded file is split in
325 multiple messages, just select them all and run the command.
327 Purpose: Display uuencoded image
328 Definition: Display uuencoded: uudec %f&
329 Details: Displays uuencoded files. The uudec[1] script can be found in
330 the 'tools' directory of the distribution package.
332 Purpose: Alter messages
333 Definition: Edit message: gvim -f %F
334 Details: Allows editing of any received message. Can be used to remove
335 unneeded message parts, etc.
337 Purpose: Pretty format
338 Definition: Par: |par 72Tbgjqw74bEe B=._A_a 72bg|
339 Details: par is a utility that can pretty format any text. It does a
340 very good job in indenting quoted messages, and justifying
341 text. Used when composing a message
344 Definition: Part/Dillo: dillo %p&
345 Details: Browse the selected message part in Dillo.
348 [1] The uudec script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
349 distribution package. It needs uudecode and ImageMagick's display. The
350 latter can be replaced by any image viewer that can get input from
351 standard input. The script could also be modified to use temporary files
352 instead of standard input.
357 Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
358 downloaded from http://www.claws-mail.org/themes.php
359 You will need to create a directory called 'themes' in your config
360 directory, unpack them into this directory, and then use the interface
361 to select them, /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Themes
363 This interface can also be used to install new themes.
366 5. Quick Search with extended search
367 ------------------------------------
368 Quick Search, with its powerful Extended search function,
369 enables searching through folder's messages.
371 Extended Search allows one to define criteria that messages must
372 have in order to match and be displayed in the summary view pane.
373 Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
374 Search type extended allows one to use Claws Mail's powerful
375 filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
376 from regexpcase "foo"
377 subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "claws-mail"
379 Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
380 powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
381 immediately recognise most of the available patterns:
383 Pattern Parameter Selects
384 ----------------------------------------------------
386 ag # messages whose age is greater than #
387 al # messages whose age is lower than #
388 b S messages which contain S in the message body
389 B S messages which contain S in the whole message
390 c S messages carbon-copied to S
391 C S message is either to: or cc: to S
393 e S messages which contain S in the Sender field
394 E S true if execute "S" succeeds
395 f S messages originating from user S
397 h S messages which contain S in any header name or value
398 H S messages which contain S in the value of any header
399 i S messages which contain S in Message-Id header
400 I S messages which contain S in inreplyto header
401 k # messages which are marked with color #
403 n S messages which are in newsgroup S
406 r messages which have been replied to
408 s S messages which contain S in subject
409 se # messages whose score is equal to #
410 sg # messages whose score is greater than #
411 sl # messages whose score is lower than #
412 Se # messages whose size is equal to #
413 Sg # messages whose size is greater than #
414 Ss # messages whose size is smaller than #
415 t S messages which have been sent to S
416 tg S messages with tags containing S
417 tagged messages which are tagged
420 x S messages which contain S in References header
421 x "cmd args" messages returning 0 when passed to command
423 y S messages which contain S in X-Label header
425 & logical AND operator
426 | logical OR operator
427 ! or ~ logical NOT operator
428 % case sensitive search
430 all filtering expressions are allowed
433 S means regexp string
435 It is possible to use logical operators AND (&), OR (|) and
436 NOT (! or ~). Case sensitive search is achieved with %.
440 f "john beavis" messages from john beavis
441 %f "John Beavis" messages from John Beavis (case sensitive)
442 ~s foo messages which do not have foo in the subject
443 f foo & ~s bar messages from foo that do not have bar in thesubject
449 /Configuration/Preferences/Customize Toolbars lets you define the
450 toolbar you want. The configuration dialog enables you to set an icon,
451 an appropriate text, and map an action to it. Actions to choose
452 from are predefined. You can also have your "Claws Mail Actions"
453 (refer to "Actions" above) on your toolbar.
456 * Configuration->Actions
457 - add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
458 * Configuration->Custom toolbar
459 - select Claws Mail Actions Feature
460 - select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
461 - choose an icon and click ok
465 7. Partial downloading of POP3 mails
466 ------------------------------------
467 Messages over the configured size limit, (/[Account preferences]/
468 Receive/Message size limit), will be partially retrieved. These
469 messages will have a Notice View displayed (above the Message View),
470 informing of the partially retrieved state and the total size of the
471 message. The Notice View will also contain two buttons, 'Mark for
472 download' and 'Mark for deletion'. If the user clicks 'Mark for
473 download', the message will be downloaded in full at the next message
474 retrieval, (and the partial one deleted); if the user checks 'Mark for
475 deletion' it will be removed from the server after the normal delay
476 as specified in the POP3 account's 'Receive' preferences.
477 If a user moves a partially retrieved message to the Trash folder
478 it will be deleted on the server at the next retrieval after the
479 Trash folder has been emptied.
485 It is recommended that you use Clawsker to edit these options,
486 http://www.claws-mail.org/clawsker.php
488 addressbook_use_editaddress_dialog (default: 1)
489 Use a separate dialogue to edit a person's details. '0'
490 will use a form embedded in the addressbook's main window.
493 bold_unread (default: 1)
494 show unread messages using bold font in summary view
497 cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
498 the maximum kB of memory Claws Mail should use. It will try
499 to keep the memory usage below this value, but it will always
500 use the assigned amount of memory for speed gain.
502 cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)
503 the minimum time in minutes Claws Mail will keep the folder
504 cache in memory. If a cache is more recent than this time it
505 will not be freed even if the memory usage is above the
506 maximum. You should probably set this value higher than your
507 mail check interval. Otherwise the cache will always be freed
508 between checks even if the folder is accessed on every check,
509 which will cause much disk IO.
511 compose_no_markup (default: 0)
512 prevent italic and bold text in the Compose dialog account
514 0: normal (markup) 1: no markup
516 diff_added_color (default: #008b8b)
517 diff_deleted_color (default: #6a5acd)
518 diff_hunk_color (default: #a52a2a)
519 Colors to use when displaying attachments in unified diff
522 emphasis_color (default: #0000CF)
523 The colour used for the X-Mailer line when its value is
526 enable_hscrollbar (default: 1)
527 enable horizontal scroll bar in summary view
530 enable_swap_from (default: 0)
531 display sender's email address in To column in Sent folder
532 instead of recipient's
535 folderview_vscrollbar_policy (default: 0)
536 specify the policy of vertical scroll bar of folder view
537 0: always 1: automatic 2: never
539 hover_timeout (default: 500)
540 time in milliseconds that will cause a folder tree to expand
541 during drag n drop when the mouse cover is held over it
543 live_dangerously (default: 0)
544 Don't ask for confirmation before definitive deletion of
548 log_error_color (default: #af0000)
549 log_in_color (default: #000000)
550 log_msg_color (default: #00af00)
551 log_out_color (default: #0000ef)
552 log_warn_color (default: #af0000)
553 log_status_ok_color (default: #00af00)
554 log_status_nok_color (default: #0000af)
555 log_status_skip_color (default: #aa00aa)
556 The colours used in the Network Log window.
558 msgview_date_format (default: 0)
559 Use the same user-defined date format in the Message View as
560 is used in the Message List.
563 outgoing_fallback_to_ascii (default: 1)
564 The outgoing encoding of a message will use 7bit US-ASCII
565 whenever it is suitable for the message content, ignoring
566 the "Outgoing encoding" option unless it is necessary.
567 Turning this option off forces the user-defined encoding to
568 be used, regardless of message content.
571 primary_paste_unselects (default: 0)
572 Causes the primary buffer to be cleared and the insertion
573 point to be repositioned when the middle mouse button is used
577 respect_flowed_format (default: 0)
578 Respect format=flowed on text/plain message parts. This will
579 cause some mails to have long lines, but will fix some URLs
580 that would otherwise be wrapped.
583 save_parts_readwrite (default: 0)
584 Saves temporary files when opening attachment with write bit
588 show_compose_margin (default: 0)
589 Adds margins to the message text area in the Compose window.
592 show_inline_attachments (default: 1)
593 Show inline attachments in MimeView.

600 statusbar_update_step (default: 10)
601 Update stepping in progress bars.
603 stripes_color_offset (default: 4000)
604 Specify the value to use when creating alternately coloured
605 lines in GtkTreeView components. The smaller the value, the
606 less visible the difference in the alternating colours of the

621 two_line_vertical (default: 1)
622 Spread message list information over two lines when using the
626 unsafe_ssl_certs (default: 0)
627 Allows Claws to remember multiple SSL certificates for a
631 use_networkmanager (default: 1)
632 Use NetworkManager to switch offline automatically.
635 use_stripes_everywhere (default: 1)
636 Enable alternately coloured lines in GtkTreeView components.
639 use_stripes_in_summaries (default: 1)
640 Enable alternately coloured lines in the main window
641 GtkTreeView components, (Folder List and Message List). The
642 only useful way to use this option is to set it to 0 when
643 use_stripes_everywhere is set to 1.
646 utf8_instead_of_locale_for_broken_mail (default: 0)
647 Use UTF-8 encoding for broken mails instead of current
651 warn_dnd (default: 1)

751 10. How to contribute
752 ---------------------
754 You are encourged to send patches via the Claws Mail bugzilla at
755 http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
756 But please first read the patch guidelines here:
757 http://www.claws-mail.org/devel.php
759 If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan
760 <paul@claws-mail.org> or consider posting to the
761 Claws Mail-users mailing list.
762 http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php
764 Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
765 http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
767 Of course, you can also post to the Claws Mail-users mailing list.
769 Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
770 don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
771 a long time to stabilise, send a mail to Paul Mangan
772 <paul@claws-mail.org>. We can probably arrange access to the
773 Claws Mail Git repository.
777 11. How to request features
778 ---------------------------
780 Ask around in Claws Mail-users ML. Note that some developers may
781 have already thought about your feature and may, perhaps, be implementing
782 it, or the feature was already discussed and rejected for whatever reason.
783 You might want to go ahead and hack a patch for it. (That would be very
784 cool!) Another possibility is to add a request to our bugzilla, (severity:
786 http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
789 12. Installing Claws Mail from Git
790 --------------------------------------
795 To download the latest Git, cd to the directory where you wish to download
796 to and type the following information:
798 git clone http://git.claws-mail.org/readonly/claws.git
800 Later, when you want to update your local repository, you'll just have to
801 go back to the 'claws' directory, and type:
808 To compile and install use the following commands:
810 ./autogen.sh [add configure options as required]
812 make install [as root]
814 You will need a full set of development tools installed to be able to run
815 autogen.sh. See also ac/README.
