sylpheed-gtk2 is a Gtk+2 port of the Sylpheed. 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:
* Quick response by keeping CPU and memory usage to a minimum
* Fast processing even though a folder contains large number of messages
(more than 10 thousand)
* Enables intuitive operation by simple, graceful, and well-polished
interface
* Similar operation methods to other mailers.
* Readily available with simple configuration
* Fully equipped with features required as a mailer
* Full support of Japanese, and support of i18n
* Enables flexible interaction with external commands
* Stable, and don't lose any data (to the utmost) in case of crash
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. It has a look similar like Outlook Express, Becky!, Datula.
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).
