+
+3. Switching between Sylpheed Claws and Sylpheed
------------------------------------------------
From Sylpheed to Sylpheed Claws
-------------------------------
From the user perspective Claws is just a fancy Sylpheed, so it uses the
- same Sylpheed setting files located in ~/.sylpheed.
+ same Sylpheed setting files located in ~/.sylpheed. However, you may wish
+ to use the ./configure option --with-config-dir=RCDIR, so that you can
+ preserve your Sylpheed settings.
It's always a good idea to back up all files in ~/.sylpheed in case
- you want to switch back to Sylpheed. (You don't have to backup the
- directories.)
+ you want to switch back to Sylpheed and didn't use the --with-config-dir
+ option. (You don't have to backup the directories.)
+ If you use a new configuration directory you will need to manually copy
+ all of your address book files, ~/.sylpheed/addrbook*
+
There are some things that frequently come up when switching to Claws:
Claws uses a new filtering system. 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, see tools/README for details.
+ filtering system, see tools/README for details. This currently only supports
+ conversion from Sylpheed's old filtering system, < 0.9.99.
* What happened to the compose email and compose news buttons?
- There's a composite button for both composing mail and news. You can toggle
- between composing mail and news by clicking on the button with the triangle.
+ There's a composite button for both composing mail and news. It is toggled
+ between composing mail and news automatically when a mail or news folder
+ is selected.
* And to the Preferences and Execute buttons?
Claws put in the settings files. This also means that the old rules will work
again.
- If you want to switch back to Claws at a later time, make sure you back up at least
- ~/.sylpheed/matcherrc (the Claws filtering rules), and ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc
- (which may have some claws specific settings).
+ If you want to switch back to Claws at a later time, and are using the same config
+ directory for both, make sure you back up at least ~/.sylpheed/matcherrc (the
+ Claws filtering rules), and ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc (which may have some claws
+ specific settings).
When switching back to Sylpheed you will not lose messages or message flags (color
labels, read / unread status of messages).
- Switching between Sylpheed Claws and Sylpheed on a regular basis
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you want to have both claws and main installed concurrently simply pass them
- a different --prefix when doing ./configure. Then use the script 'sylpheed-switcher',
- (which is provided in the tools directory), to launch the version you require without
- fear of losing specific settings related to either claws or main. Further details can
- be found in tools/README.
-
-3. Things Claws does different
-------------------------------
-
-Claws does a lot of things different. Here a quick run-down of things that
-are hardly noticeable, but deserve mentioning:
-
-* auto address replacement in summary view
------------------------------------
- This matches a plain email address with a person in the address book. This
- feature is enabled in Common Preferences | Tab Display | SummaryView Group |
- Display sender using addressbook
-
-* manual selection of MIME types for attachments
------------------------------------
- You can change the MIME type of an attachment by right-clicking in the
- attachment list, selecting Property in the menu. The MIME type list
- is a combo box with the known MIME types.
-
-* sharing mail folders
- -----------------------------------
- You can also share or use shared mail folders. Right-click a folder and
- select Property. Change the Folder chmod setting.
-
-* default to address for folders
- -----------------------------------
- Most people filter mailing list mails to separate folders. Claws allows
- you to associate a folder with a mailing list or a person. Right-click a
- folder, select Property and change the Default To setting. When you
- compose a new mail, when this folder is selected the recipient address
- will be set to this address.
-
- (NOTE: this is also a shoot-yourself-in-the-foot-setting! If you want
- to send a private mail, don't have a folder selected with this setting
- set.)
-
-* pixmap themes
------------------------------------
- To use different icon sets you need to create a directory:
- mkdir ~/.sylpheed/themes
- Icon sets should be placed in this directory in their own sub-directory.
- They are then selectable from Pixmap Theme on the Interface tab of Commmon
- Preferences.
-
-* user definable actions
------------------------------------
+4. Actions
+----------
The "actions" feature is a convenient way for the user to launch external
commands to process a complete message file including headers and body or
just one of its parts. It allows also the use of an external command to
[2] The gpg-sign-syl script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
distribution package.
-* Spell checker for Sylpheed-Claws
------------------------------------
+
+
+5. Icon Themes
+--------------
+ Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
+ downloaded from http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/themes.php
+ You will need to create a directory called 'themes' in your config
+ directory, unpack them into this directory, and then use the interface
+ to select them, /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Themes
+
+ This interface can also be used to install new themes.
+
+
+
+6. Spell Checking
+-----------------
a. Requirements
b. Configuration and installation
c. Usage
a. Requirements
---------------
- Note:
- As for version 0.8.3 (and cvs version 0.8.2claws3), Sylpheed-Claws uses
- the new GNU/aspell 0.50 for spell checking instead of the obsolete pspell
- and old aspell 0.33.x. You will need to upgrade your system. See
- http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell for instructions on how to do this.
-
- The spell checker in Sylpheed requires the new GNU/aspell library
+ The spell checker in Sylpheed-Claws requires the GNU/aspell library
(http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell), version 0.50 or newer.
You also need the dictionaries. Check GNU/aspell home page for how
NB: The old dictionaries used by the old aspell will not work.
- b. Configuring Sylpheed
- -----------------------
+ b. Configuring Claws
+ --------------------
- Spell checking is enabled if you configure Sylpheed appropriately. Add
- the option '--enable-aspell' when configuring. E.g.:
+ Spell checking is enabled if you configure Claws appropriately. Add
+ the option '--enable-aspell' when configuring, e.g.:
./configure --enable-aspell
c. Usage
--------
- 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
- it accordingly as explained below.
-
After successful compiling, you need to tell Sylpheed where your
dictionaries reside. The configure script should have found it,
but in case it did not, run 'aspell config dict-dir' on the
shell to get the path to the dictionaries.
- Then run Sylpheed and go to Configuration -> Common preferences ->
- Spell Checker. Check the box 'Enable spell checker' and
- use the file selector ('...' button) to select the path where the
- dictionaries reside. Within the file selector, go to that directory
- and select *any* file in the file lists. Click OK. Then, you should
- be able to select your default dictionary.
+ Then run Sylpheed and go to /Configuration/Preferences/Compose/Spell Checker.
+ Check the box 'Enable spell checker' and use the file selector ('...' button)
+ to select the path where the dictionaries reside. Within the file selector,
+ go to that directory and select *any* file in the file lists. Click OK.
+ Then, you should be able to select your default dictionary.
When composing, misspelled words are highlighted. Click on any
highlighted word with the right mouse button to get a list of
No known problems as the time of this writing (0.8.2claws3).
-* simplify subject string
------------------------------------
- It is possible to remove parts of string from the subject line.
- Example: [Sylpheed-claws-users] This is a test
- becomes: This is a test
- This is a per folder property. Right click on a folder and select
- property, enable Simplify Subject RegExp check box. Example
- regexp for the above is: \[Sylpheed-claws-(devel|users)\]
- Another example for the Sylpheed mailing list (not claws!) is:
- \[sylpheed:[0-9]{5}\]
-
-* new cache
------------------------------------
- New cache is a new data cache structure for sylpheed, that will
- solve many of the problems sylpheed currently has with updates to
- flags. But you will also notice a large speed gain when you open
- these folders.
-
- New cache uses two new configuration parameters that can be
- adjusted in ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc (no gui for them available yet).
-
- cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
- the maximum kB of memory sylpheed should use.
- It will try to keep the memory usage below this
- value, but it will always use the assigned
- amount of memory for speed gain.
-
- cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)
- the minimum time in minutes sylpheed will keep
- the folder cache in memory. If a cache is more
- recent than this time it will not be freed even
- if the memory usage is above the maximum. You
- should probably set this value higher than your
- mail check interval. Otherwise the cache will
- always be freed between checks even if the folder
- is accessed on every check, which will cause much
- disk IO.
- The check if memory can be freed is currently done after the
- active folder has been changed or whenever a new cache is read,
- i.e. triggered by mail incorporation.
-
- New mails in MH folders are not detected automatically like before,
- when you enter the folder. You have to update the folder manually,
- or activate the auto update setting in the options.
-
-There are a lot more options. If you find one, don't hesitate to
-mention it.
-
-* selective download, delete messages on server
------------------------------------
- The selective download window lets you select messages, that
- should be retrieved from or deleted on the server.
- The selection can be automated by setting up a *global*
- filtering rule (folder based rules are ignored), e.g
- 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
+7. Quick Search with extended search
+------------------------------------
+ Quick Search, with its powerful Extended search function,
+ enables searching through folder's messages.
-* extended search in quick search
----------------------------------
- This feature allows one to define criteria that messages have
- to match in order to be displayed in the summary view pane.
+ Extended Search allows one to define criteria that messages must
+ have in order to match and 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:
Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
- immediately recognize most of the available patterns:
+ immediately recognise most of the available patterns:
Pattern Parameter Selects
----------------------------------------------------
%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
+
+
+8. Custom toolbar
+-----------------
+
+ /Configuration/Preferences/Customize Toolbars 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 can also have your "Sylpheed Actions" (refer
+ to "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
+
+
-* 'dynamic' signatures
-----------------------
- To use program output, e.g. fortune, as a message signature
- use a | (pipe) symbol. For example, in the Account Preferences
- 'Compose' tab, enter the following in the Signature File box:
+9. Partial downloading of POP3 mails
+------------------------------------
+ Messages over the configured size limit, (/[Account preferences]/
+ Receive/Message size limit), will be partially retrieved. These
+ messages will have a Notice View displayed (above the Message View),
+ informing of the partially retrieved state and the total size of the
+ message. The Notice View will also contain two buttons, 'Mark for
+ download' and 'Mark for deletion'. If the user clicks 'Mark for
+ download', the message will be downloaded in full at the next message
+ retrieval, (and the partial one deleted); if the user checks 'Mark for
+ deletion' it will be removed from the server after the normal delay
+ as specified in the POP3 account's 'Receive' preferences.
+ If a user moves a partially retrieved message to the Trash folder
+ it will be deleted on the server at the next retrieval after the
+ Trash folder has been emptied.
+
+
+
+
+10. Other things that Claws does differently
+--------------------------------------------
+ Claws does a lot of things differently. Here is a quick run-down of
+ just a few of them:
+
+ * auto address replacement in summary view
+
+ This matches a plain email address with a person in the address book.
+ This feature is enabled in /Configuration/Preferences/Common/Display
+ 'Display sender using addressbook'
+
+ * manual selection of MIME types for attachments
+
+ You can change the MIME type of an attachment by right-clicking in the
+ attachment list, selecting Property in the menu. The MIME type list
+ is a combo box with the known MIME types.
- | /usr/games/fortune
+ * sharing mail folders
+ You can also share or use shared mail folders. Right-click a folder and
+ select Properties. Change the Folder chmod setting.
-4. How to contribute
---------------------
+ * simplify subject string
+
+ It is possible to remove parts of subject string from the displayed
+ subject line.
+ Example:
+ True Subject: [Sylpheed-claws-users] This is a test
+ Displayed Subject: This is a test
+ Regexp: \[Sylpheed-claws-(devel|users)\]
+
+ This is a per folder property. Right click on a folder and select
+ Properties, enable Simplify Subject RegExp check box.
-Sylpheed Main:
+ * new cache

+ * SMTP Message Size Declaration
+ If the server supports it, oversize messages will not be sent and
+ the maximum allowed message size will be displayed in the log,
+ (/Tools/Log window/).
+
+ * Reply-finder
+ Clicking on the replied icon in the Status (S) column of the summary
+ view will attempt to find and display your reply that is stored in
+ your Outbox.

+13. How to request features
+---------------------------
-Ask around in both Sylpheed ML and Sylpheed Claws Users ML. Note
-that some developers may already thought about your feature, may
-perhaps be implementing it - or the feature was already discussed
-and rejected for whatever reason. You might want to go ahead and
-hack a patch for it. (That would be very cool!) Another
-possibility is to use the Feature Request Tracker at the
