FreeBSD, Solaris
GTK+ 1.2.6 or later
-A recent ANSI C compiler (gcc 2.7.2.3 should also

Optionally:

+</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>Please note: When Sylpheed is executed for the first time, it automatically creates the configuration files under $HOME/.sylpheed/, 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>Please note: When Sylpheed-Claws is executed for the first time, it

+$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.

with only a local mailbox feed).

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

-<H2><A NAME="ss2.14">2.14 Q14 How do I enable GPG support in Sylpheed?</A>
-</H2>
-

-When that completes successfully, there is a "privacy" section in the Common preferences.
-<H2><A NAME="ss2.15">2.15 Q15 Mutt does not recognize Sylpheed's MH structure</A>

-
-<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.
