6. Installing Claws from CVS
There are some things that frequently come up when switching to Claws:
- * Why does the advanced filtering system not work?
-
- Claws uses the new filtering system as soon as you define a new rule for it.
- Your old Sylpheed filter rules will not be used. In subdirectory tools/ of
- the distribution there is a Perl script called filter_conv.pl which converts
- old filter rules to the claws filtering system.

* What happened to the compose email and compose news buttons?
There's a composite button for both composing mail and news. You can toggle
./configure --enable-aspell --with-aspell-prefix=/foo/bar
- Using the '--with-aspell-prefix=PREFIX' option will let the configure
- script look for includes and libraries in PREFIX/include and PREFIX/lib.
+ The '--with-aspell-prefix=PREFIX' option will let the configure

- You can also specify manualle the includes and libraries path by using
+ You can also specify manually the includes and libraries path by using
either following options:

as appropriate.
- The configure script summarizes the options compiled in. Check that
+ The configure script summarizes the options compiled in. Check that
it lists 'GNU/aspell = yes'.
Then proceed as usual, with 'make' and 'make install'.
NOTE: if you upgraded from Sylpheed-Claws 0.8.2 (or cvs version 0.8.2claws2)
or earlier, please check if the dictionary path was updated in the
Configuration -> Common Preferences -> Spell Checker menu. If not, update
- accordingly as explained below.
+ it accordingly as explained below.
After successful compiling, you need to tell Sylpheed where your
dictionaries reside. The configure script should have found it,
subject match "SPAM" delete_on_server
Next time, you retrieve the headers using selective download,
all messages that matched this criteria are marked.

+ NOTE: Selective download is a pop3 only feature and makes
+ no sense if used as a folder processing filter.

+* Custom toolbar
+----------------
+ Configuration->Custom toolbar lets you define the toolbar
+ you want. The configuration dialog enables you to set an icon,
+ an appropriate text and map an action to it. Actions to choose
+ from are predefined. You may as well have your "Sylpheed Actions"
+ (refer to "user definable actions" above) on your toolbar.
+ Example:
+ * Configuration->Actions
+ - add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
+ * Configuration->Custom toolbar
+ - select Sylpheed Actions Feature
+ - select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
+ - choose an icon and click ok
+
+* quick search
+---------------------------------
+ This feature allows one to define criteria that messages have
+ to match in order to be displayed in the summary view pane.
+ Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
+ Search type extended allows one to use Sylpheed's powerful
+ filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
+ from regexpcase "foo"
+ subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "sylpheed-claws"
+
+ Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
+ powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
+ immediately recognize most of the available patterns:
+
+ Pattern Parameter Selects
+ ----------------------------------------------------
+ a all messages
+ ag # messages whose age is greater than #
+ al # messages whose age is lower than #
+ b S messages which contain S in the message body
+ B S messages which contain S in the whole message
+ c S messages carbon-copied to S
+ C S message is either to: or cc: to S
+ D deleted messages
+ e S messages which contain S in the Sender field
+ E S true if execute "S" succeeds
+ f S messages originating from user S
+ F forwarded messages
+ h S messages which contain header S
+ i S messages which contain S in Message-Id header
+ I S messages which contain S in inreplyto header
+ n S messages which are in newsgroup S
+ N new messages
+ O old messages
+ r messages which have been replied to
+ R read messages
+ s S messages which contain S in subject
+ se # messages whose score is equal to #
+ sg # messages whose score is greater than #
+ sl # messages whose score is lower than #
+ Se # messages whose size is equal to #
+ Sg # messages whose size is greater than #
+ Ss # messages whose size is smaller than #
+ t S messages which have been sent to S
+ T marked marked
+ U unread messages
+ x S messages which contain S in References header
+ y S messages which contain S in X-Label header
+
+ # means number
+ S means regexp string
+
+ It is possible to use logical operators AND (&), OR (|) and
+ NOT (! or ~). Case sensitive search is achieved with %.
+ Examples:
+ T marked messages
+ U unread messages
+ f "john beavis" messages from john beavis
+ %f "John Beavis" messages from John Beavis (case sensitive)
+ ~s foo messages which do not have foo in the subject
+ f foo & s bar messages from foo that do not have bar in thesubject
