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 my filter rules?
+ Claws uses a new filtering system. Your old Sylpheed filter rules will not

+ filtering system, see tools/README for details.

* What happened to the compose email and compose news buttons?
There's a composite button for both composing mail and news. You can toggle
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
- select Sylpheed Actions Feature
- select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
- choose an icon and click ok
-
+
+* 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.
+ 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
+ L locked messages
+ 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 messages
+ 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
+
+* (build in) image viewer
+-----------------------
+ Claws allows to load viewers for mime parts with plugins. To keep
+ the main programs code small and easier to maintain by defining an
+ API for viewers and not having to include every viewer in the code
+ the build in image viewer was removed and put into a plugin. If you
+ wonder why image viewing is not working anymore you probably have
+ to load the plugin.
