>What is Claws Mail?</A
></H3
><P
> Claws Mail is an email client aiming at being fast, easy-to-use and
powerful. It is mostly desktop-independent, but tries to integrate
with your desktop as best as possible. The Claws Mail developers try
hard to keep it lightweight, so that it should be usable on low-end
computers without much memory or CPU power.

>What Claws Mail is not</A
></H3
><P
> Claws Mail is not a full-featured Personal Information Manager like
Evolution or Outlook, although external plugins provide these
functionalities. Claws Mail will not let you write and send HTML
emails or other kind of annoyances, hence it may not be the software
you need in some business environments.

></H3
><P
> Claws Mail sports almost everything a perfect email client needs.
Mail retrieval over POP3, IMAP4, local mbox, over SSL; support for
various authentication schemes. It has multiple accounts and
mailboxes, powerful filtering and search functionality, import/export
capabilities using a number of formats, support for GnuPG (digital
signatures and encryption). It supports plugins, customisable
toolbars, spell checking, a number of guards to prevent any data loss,
per-folder preferences, and much more. A list of features can be
found at <A

>History of Claws Mail</A
></H3
><P
> Claws Mail has existed since April 2001. It was initially named
Sylpheed-Claws and changed its name to Claws Mail in November 2006.
The primary goal of Sylpheed-Claws was to be a test-bed for potential
features of <A
HREF="http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/"
TARGET="_top"
>Sylpheed</A
>, so that new features could be tested thoroughly
without compromising Sylpheed's stability. Sylpheed-Claws developers
regularly synchronised their codebase with Sylpheed's codebase, and
Sylpheed's author, Hiroyuki Yamamoto, took back the new features he
liked once they were stabilised.
</P
><P
> Originally both Sylpheed and Claws Mail were based on GTK1. The work
on the GTK2 versions started in early 2003, and the first modern
(GTK2-based) Sylpheed-Claws was released in March 2005. Since about
this time, Sylpheed and Sylpheed-Claws' goals started to diverge more,
and Sylpheed-Claws became an entity of its own. This is why its name
is now Claws Mail.

Inbox folder is growing to the point where you have a hard time finding
an email again, even if you received it just a few days ago. This is why
Claws Mail, like most good mail clients, provides you with multiple
possibilities in organising your mails.
</P
><P
> You can create as many folders and subfolders as you need. For example,
one folder for your family, one folder for friends, folders for
mailing-lists, archive folders for old mails that you still want to have
available, etc. To create a new folder, simply right-click on its parent
folder and choose <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"New folder..."</SPAN
> from the drop-down menu.
If you want to create a folder <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"

folder, for example, just right-click on the Inbox folder, choose
<SPAN

> Now that you have created folders, you can manipulate them and their
contents using menu items or drag 'n' drop. Moving one folder into
another, for example, can be done by right-clicking on the folder you
want to move, choosing the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Move folder..."</SPAN
> menu item, and
selecting the destination folder. This will move the folder, with the
mail it contains, to a subfolder of the chosen folder. Alternatively,
you can drag a folder to another one by clicking on it, keeping the
mouse pressed, moving the mouse cursor over the destination folder and
releasing the button.
</P

right-click on the folder and choose <SPAN

this is potentially harmful, (the mails in the folder will be deleted
and not recoverable), you will be asked for confirmation.

emails from one folder to another. The same method applies for this:
either drag 'n' drop emails to a folder, or choose
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Move..."</SPAN
> after right-clicking on the mail. You can select
multiple emails by using the Control or Shift key while clicking on
them. You can also copy emails to another folder by pressing the Control
key when drag'n'dropping, or by choosing <SPAN

> The IMAP protocol allows one to store a list of subscribed folders. Most
mail user agents hide the unsubscribed folders away from the GUI, and have
a little window allowing to subscribe to these unsubscribed folders. In
Claws Mail, subscriptions are respected by default, and only subscribed
folders will be displayed. If you want to see all your folders, you can just
uncheck <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Show subscribed folders only"</SPAN
> in the IMAP mailbox'
contextual menu or the account preferences. You'll be able to subscribe and
unsubscribe folders from this contextual menu too. If the unsubscribed
folders are hidden from the list, you will have two ways to subscribe to
a folder: either show all folders, subscribe the ones you want, and hide
unsubscribed folders again; or, if you know the folder's name, use
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"

NAME="handling_filters"
>Filtering</A
></H3
><P
> Once you have a nice folder hierarchy in place, you'll probably want
Claws Mail to sort your incoming emails automatically, in order to
avoid having to move messages manually each time they arrive. For this
you can use the Filtering feature.
</P
><P
> You will find the filtering preferences via the
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Configuration"</SPAN
> menu, <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Filtering"</SPAN
> item. From
this dialogue you will be able to define new rules, modify or delete
existing rules, re-order the rules, and enable/disable them. Filtering
rules are defined by five things: the enabled status, a name, an account
name, a condition, and an action. All disabled rules are simply ignored.
The <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Name"</SPAN
> entry is optional, it's there to help you
identify your rules. An account name can be chosen, which will restrict
the rule to mail retrieved from the named account only, skipping it for
mail retrieved from all other accounts. The default value is
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"All"</SPAN
>, which means that the rule is global and will
be applied to all mail, regardless of the account from which it was
retrieved, (see paragraph below). The condition format is an expression
defining what Claws Mail should look for when filtering mail, for
example: <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"to matchcase claws-mail-users"</SPAN
> is for messages
sent to any address containing <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"claws-mail-users"</SPAN
>. You can
easily define conditions by clicking the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Define..."</SPAN
> button
at the right of the field. The last part of a filtering rule is the
action, which instructs Claws Mail what to do with mail matching
the condition we just defined. For example, <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"mark_as_read"</SPAN
>
marks the mail as read as soon as it arrives in your inbox, or
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"move #mh/Mailbox/inbox/Friends"</SPAN
> moves the mail to your
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Friends"</SPAN
> subfolder. Here, too, a <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Define..."</SPAN
>
button is available to help you define the action to take.
</P
><P
> Filtering rules can be assigned to a single, specific account. To do
this select an account from the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Account"</SPAN
> combo below the
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Name"</SPAN
> entry. When you set a specific account the filtering
rule will only be applied to messages retrieved from the named account.
The default value is <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"All"</SPAN
>, which means that the rule will
be applied globally, to messages retrieved from any account. When filtering
messages manually, if there are any per-account filtering rules defined,
you will be asked what you wish to do with those rules. Possible choices
are to skip the rules, or apply these rules regardless of the account to
which they belong, or use the rules for the currently selected account.
Caution: if you unset the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Show this message next time"</SPAN
>
checkbox and click <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Filter"</SPAN
>, on subsequent manual filtering
this choice will be applied without any confirmation. Account specific
rules are only available for filtering, (at incorporation or manually),
the feature is not available for folder Processing or Pre/Post-Processing.
</P
><P
> Once you have defined the rule, you can add it to the list of rules with
the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Add"</SPAN
> button. Don't forget that the order of the rules
is important: if Claws Mail finds a rule suitable for an email that
either moves or deletes the email, it will stop looking for further
rules for that email. This is why, at the right of the rules list, you
will find four buttons allowing the re-ordering of rules. The rules can
also be reordered by drag 'n' drop.
</P
><P
> There is also a quick method of creating filtering rules based on the
selected message. After selecting a mail of the type you want to filter,
choose <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Create filter rule..."</SPAN
> from the
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Tools"</SPAN
> menu, and choose a type from the submenu:
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Automatically"</SPAN
> mainly helps for mailing-lists posts,
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"by From"</SPAN
> creates a filter based on the sender of the
email, <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"by To"</SPAN
> creates a filter based on the recipient, and
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"by Subject"</SPAN
> creates a filter based on the subject. Each
one of these types of filtering has its advantages, it's up to you to
find out what would be the more practical. Usually,
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"by From"</SPAN
> is nice to sort out your regular contacts' mails,
whereas <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"by To"</SPAN
> is more useful to sort mails sent to your
different accounts.

</P

> One of them is relatively standard, and can be found in the
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"

> menu, it's the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Search folder..."</SPAN

This will open a window where you can specify one or more fields to

criteria, click on the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Back"</SPAN
> or <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Forward"</SPAN
>
buttons to navigate through the matching emails, or use
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Find all"</SPAN
> to select all the matching emails at once. Be
aware that searching for text in the body of emails is much slower than
searching in its headers, because the body of emails isn't cached by
Claws Mail. <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Extended Search"</SPAN
> mode can be turned on by
clicking the relevant checkbox, thus allowing you to use match expressions
like those used in <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Filtering"</SPAN
> rules.
</P
><P
> If you're looking at a large email and want to find a particular part
of it, you can use the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Find in current message..."</SPAN
> item of
the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Edit"</SPAN
> menu. This works like search in a text document.
</P
><P
> The final way of searching for emails is using <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Quick Search"</SPAN
>,
which you can display or hide by clicking the little magnifying glass icon
under the Message List. It is also accessible from the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Quick Search"</SPAN
>
item of the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Edit"</SPAN
> menu. <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Quick Search"</SPAN
> is more
powerful than the normal search as it can search in standard headers (From,
To, Subject) or in <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Extended"</SPAN
> mode using just about any
criteria you can think of. When in <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Extended"</SPAN
> mode, the
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Information"</SPAN
> button is visible, enabling you to see the
search syntax. An <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Edit"</SPAN
> button is also available which
allows you to quickly create a rule. You can also configure
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Quick Search"</SPAN
> to search recursively through subfolders,
whether it should reset itself when you change folders, and whether to
use Type-ahead search (this is a search which results update dynamically
if you pause in the typing).
</P
><P
> When you hit Enter after having specified the search string, the Message
List will shrink to present you with only the matching messages. If you
set the search to be recursive, any subfolder of the current one that
has matching emails will change its icon to a magnifying glass icon.
This way, you can search in your whole mailbox at once. If the search is
in Sticky mode, the filter will stay applied when you go to another
folder. This can be disturbing at first, as you can forget about it, but
is useful in some cases, for example if you want to search in the body
of emails and are not sure of which folder contains the searched email:
a recursive search on the body of emails in a whole mailbox can be
really slow.

later have the choice to either download it entirely or delete it from
the server. This choice will be presented to you while viewing the

> The <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Send"</SPAN
> tab contains preferences for special headers
that you might want to add to your outgoing emails, like X-Face or Face
headers, and authentication information for sending emails. Most of the
time, your ISP allows its subscribers to send email via the SMTP server
without authenticating, but in some setups, you have to identify
yourself before sending. There are different possibilities for doing
that. The best one, when available, is SMTP AUTH. When not available,
you'll usually use POP-before-SMTP, which connects to the POP server,
(which is authenticated), disconnects, and sends the mail.
</P
><P
> The <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"

addresses.
</P
><P
> In the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Privacy"</SPAN

paranoia for your account. You might want all outgoing emails to be
digitally signed and/or encrypted. Signing all outgoing emails, not only
important ones, will for example allow you to protect yourself from
faked mails sent on your behalf to coworkers. This can help solve
embarrassing situations.

its settings apply to the transport of your emails and not their

being able to read your mails and your password. SSL should be used if
it is available.

is that it is more difficult to keep your mail synchronised on multiple

> Some of the external plugins, for example RSSyl, vCalendar, Libravatar
or Fancy, need Internet access for their operations (retrieving feeds in
the case of RSSyl or vCalendar, and fetching images in the case of

Internet access is restricted by a proxy, you will need to tell libCurl
to use this proxy. This is done by setting an environment variable,

<TT
CLASS="literal"
>http_proxy=http://user:passwd@myproxy.example.com:8080</TT

myproxy.example.com, with the user <SPAN

> Although Claws Mail is a graphical application and can mainly be
commanded with your mouse, it also requires the frequent use of the
keyboard. Composing a mail is the most common of the tasks that
require the use of the keyboard. For people who write a lot of mails,
having to move hands from keyboard to mouse greatly reduces
productivity, so Claws Mail provides keyboard shortcuts to allow
faster operation.

><P
> This not only benefits power users by providing keyboard alternatives
and keyboard navigation, it also enables people with disabilities,
(who may not be able to properly control a pointing device), to use
Claws Mail.
</P
><P
> The most general convention is the <CODE
CLASS="option"
>Escape</CODE
> key. Focused
dialogues or windows can be closed by hitting the <CODE
CLASS="option"

key.
</P
><P
> There are other key combinations which are assigned by default to menu
items. We won't list these here, as they are already shown on the
righthand side of the menus themselves, so you can easily learn them
with usage. Furthermore, if you don't like them, these shortcuts can be
changed on the fly by focusing on the menu item and pressing the
desired key combination.

to window, which are summarised in the following sections.
