Sylpheed is a compact and fast e-mail and news client that is very light on resources. The interface of the program is very intuitive for most people that have used a mail client before.
But the program is easy to work with for any computer user and guides you through the setup of your mailbox from the startup. Advanced users will soon learn that the application is loaded with features and will accomodate their needs as well.
Sylpheed is a good alternative to other email clients due to its functions and its graceful interface.
What's New in This Release:
· Safe mode (which does not load plug-ins) was added (--safe-mode).
· The existence of destination folders are checked when creating a filter rule.
· The recursion level is restricted up to 64 when scanning local mailbox (prevents infinite loop with symlink. Note: Linux automatically limits the symlink loop up to 40)
· The labels used in POP3 remote mailbox dialog was modified.
· POP3: do not disconnect immediately but send QUIT command on normal POP3 errors (prevents deleted messages appear again).
· IMAP: "INBOX" folder became case insensitive as specified in RFC 3501.
· IMAP: server name for cache directory is escaped now (fixes cache creation when using IPv6 address for server name on Windows).
· Win32: socket connection timeout setting now works on Windows (Note: on Windows XP, maximum timeout value will be 21 seconds by default).
