Thank you for this.

Claws is made for average to power users. It offers a lot of features, and is really highly configurable. One of the immediate benefit when using it (before any tweaking), is the speed and responsiveness, and the dramatically low bandwidth usage. From Claws webpage :

Quick response
Graceful, and sophisticated interface
Easy configuration, intuitive operation
Abundant features
Extensibility
Robustness and stability

What is it about Claws that makes it mighty? I'm not thrilled by Mail at this juncture and looking for alternatives asside from t-bird or MS's unfortunate, bloat ridden, Entourage. What are the best things about Claws that makes you want to port it to OS X?

Hi,

Appreciate your efforts in putting together claws-mail for OS X.

Is there any plans of having 3.x version anytime soon?

I googled for "screenrc". What I wanted to do is change the escape sequence (although C-o also isn't good, because it's open-line in emacs) and increase the size of the scrollback buffer. In addition to those you also have the caption which, although I hadn't imagined it, sounds like a great idea. You rock :)

Hi,

you can get something nice looking like that screenshot :

by tweaking the GTK theme inside the claws mail package. I can give you precise directions if you need

I appreciate all the hard work you've done Damien, but a few questions :-)

Is there any .dmg for the latest version of Claws compiled for ppc?

Secondly, I've got your compile running on my PowerMac G4 and it seems to have a much "clunkier" interface that when running under KDE on my Kubuntu box. Any chance of an Aqua interface or is that merely a case of installing a them from the Claws website?

Well you are right, there is no plugin in the osX version. I just need to compile them and put them in the release, that's all :)

Hi Damien:

I really appreciate your effort -- I downloaded the .dmg you created, tried it out then wondered... where are the gpg and other plugins?
I went to your developer section and read the compilation sequence you used.

Ah... you choose to leave them all out, at least the ones I like and use within Yellow Dog Linux. Is there a reason the plugins (gpg, dillo-viewer, spamassassin, clamav, etc) aren't compiled within the OS X environment?

I've got the latest version of Claws running within the latest version of YDL. I got all the plugins I want functioning and I'm pretty much making YDL the primary OS I use now on my PowerPC laptop. And even though I know OS X is hopelessly bloated, I really miss what Claws mail does as you do when I'm not in YDL.

I appreciate learning what you can share on regarding these questions.

Thanks....

The question could be, what's better inside Emacs+Gnus? W/ Claws Mail, you feel better like after having stopped smoking ;-).

Cool banana Damien but whats wrong with using Emacs+Gnus on MaxOSX ? Wat's better inside Claws-Mail

And the last question is, where is "madame girard" ?

Damn damien you look so good on picture.

altivec will have a big COMEBACK via the Playstation3 and the including CELL processor!!! :)

greetings

Most likely.
No clues on how I make gnome-terminal run with utf8?

it's probably because you have utf8 setup but your terminal doesn't understand utf8

Wow, very useful the caption configuration, thank you.

Nice tip. Perhaps you could submit it to the GWN for its tips and tricks section?

agreed, corrected, sorry ! :)

Le rapport avec Gentoo ?
