Sylpheed is an e-mail client and news reader based on GTK+ GUI toolkit, and runs on X Window System.
Sylpheed is a free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
The development of Sylpheed sets the following things as its goal:
The appearance and interface are similar to some popular e-mail clients for Windows, such as Outlook Express, Becky!, and Datula. The interface is also designed to emulate the Emacs-based mailers, and almost all commands are accessible with the keyboard. So you will able to migrate to Sylpheed without much discomfort in the case where you are accustomed to other mailers.
The messages are managed by MH format, and you'll be able to use it together with another mailer based on MH format (like Mew). It has less possibility of losing mails on failures since one file corresponds to one mail.
You can import or export mbox format messages.
You can also utilize fetchmail or/and procmail, and external programs on receiving (like inc or imget).
It is confirmed to work on many Linux distributions, *BSD, and commercial Unix etc. The Windows version is also developed by others.
(if you get it working on other platforms, please contact me)
apt-get install sylpheed
The source code management system of Sylpheed has been migrated from CVS to Subversion. The current development version is managed by Subversion, and the previous stable version is managed by CVS.
Install subversion, and access svn://sylpheed.good-day.net/sylpheed .
mkdir svn cd svn svn checkout svn://sylpheed.good-day.net/sylpheed
The subdirectory of sylpheed is divided as following:
To update to the newest source tree, run the command:
svn updateat the target directory.
The Subversion tree doesn't include automatically created files, so you can't ./configure as it is. To compile, you need autoconf, automake, libtool, gettext to be installed. If they are, required files are automatically generated by ./autogen.sh.
First, set your CVSROOT environment variable to: :pserver:anonymous@sylpheed.good-day.net:/cvsroot/sylpheed (you can specify that with -d option).
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@sylpheed.good-day.net:/cvsroot/sylpheed
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@sylpheed.good-day.net:/cvsroot/sylpheed'
Next, login with:
cvs loginand just press Enter key to `CVS password:'.
Move to an appropriate directory, and with the command:
cvs -z3 checkout sylpheeda source tree named `sylpheed' is created under the current directory.
To update to the newest source tree, run the command:
cvs -z3 update -d -Pon the top directory of the source tree.
(To reduce the load of the network, please make sure -z3 is applied.)
The CVS tree doesn't include automatically created files, so you can't ./configure as it is. To compile, you need autoconf, automake, libtool, gettext, imlib, gdk-pixbuf to be installed. If they are, required files are automatically generated by ./autogen.sh.
This is a mailing list that deals with the general topic of Sylpheed. There are two lists:
There is also the sylpheed-announce ML (sylpheed-announce@good-day.net) which deals only with release announcements.

The words in Japanese mean: Search, Number index, Thread index).
The following explanation uses sylpheed@good-day.net as an example. Please substitute sylpheed with sylpheed-jp, and sylpheed-ctl with sylpheed-jp-ctl if you are going to subscribe to sylpheed-jp@good-day.net, or sylpheed-announce and sylpheed-announce-ctl for sylpheed-announce@good-day.net.
Send a mail to sylpheed-ctl@good-day.net that says

The server returns the mail once for the first registration request that asks the confirmation: "May I put you on this mailing list?" that includes the following phrase (this number is merely an example).
confirm 84682771 Anne ShirleyThis is a precaution for mischief like subscribing you to the list against your wish.
If you received the entry confirmation mail, send a mail that includes the phrase:
confirm Password(a number) Your Nameto the address for registration: sylpheed-ctl@good-day.net again. Then, it is considered that you have confirmed the registration and you are registered to the server.
The address for posting is sylpheed@good-day.net.
Notice: If you lost the mail that says
confirm Password(a number) Your Nameor you became confused and want to do from the first, do them over from `the first', in other words, send
