What's Sylpheed
===============

Sylpheed is an e-mail client based on GTK+ GUI toolkit.
Sylpheed runs on Unix-like systems such as Linux, BSD and Mac OS X, or
Microsoft Windows (XP or later).

Sylpheed is a free software distributed under the GNU GPL (the library part
LibSylph is GNU LGPL).

Sylpheed has the following features:

    * Simple, beautiful, and well-polished user interface
    * Comfortable operationality which is built in detail
    * Well-organized, easy-to-understand configuration
    * Lightweight operation
    * High reliability
    * Internationalization and Multilingualization support
    * High-level Japanese processing
    * Various protocols support
    * Multi-thread support
    * Security feature (GnuPG, SSL/TLSv1)
    * Powerful filtering and search
    * Junk mail control
    * Flexible cooperation with external commands
    * Plug-in faculty

The appearance and interface are similar to some popular e-mail clients for
Windows, such as Outlook or Becky!. Many commands are accessible with
the keyboard like the Emacs-based mailers such as Mew and Wanderlust.
So you will be able to migrate to Sylpheed without much discomfort, even if
you are accustomed to other mailers.

The messages are managed by MH format, and you will 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 and eml format messages. You can also utilize fetchmail
and/or procmail, and external programs on receiving (like inc or imget).

Installation
============

See INSTALL for installation instructions.

Usage
=====

Preparation before running
--------------------------

If you are using a character encoding other than UTF-8 for filename,
you must set the following environmental variable (it will not work if
it is not specified):

(use locale-specific encoding)
% export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale

or

(manually specifying encoding)
% export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=ISO-8859-1

If you want to display messages translated to your language,
you must specify some environmental variables related to locale.
For example:

% export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

(replace de_DE.UTF-8 to the actual locale name)

If you don't want translated messages, set LC_MESSAGES to "C"
(and unset LC_ALL if specified).

How to run
----------

Input `sylpheed' on a command line, or double-click the icon in a file
manager to execute.

Initial startup
---------------

When Sylpheed is executed for the first time, it automatically creates the
configuration files under ~/.sylpheed-2.0/, and asks you the location of
mailbox. The default is ~/Mail. If some files, which are non-MH format,
already exist on the directory, you will have to specify another location.

If ~/.sylpheed-2.0/ doesn't exist, but the previous version of configuration
exists in ~/.sylpheed/, migration will be made automatically after the
confirmation.

If the locale encoding is not UTF-8 and the environmental variable
G_FILENAME_ENCODING is not set, an alert dialog will be displayed.

Required settings
-----------------

Initially, you have to create at least one account to send or receive
messages (you can read messages that already exist without creating
accounts). The configuration dialog will be shown by clicking
"Configuration -> Create new account..." in the menu, or "Account" on
the toolbar. Then, fill the required settings.

Refer to the manual supplied with this program for the general usage.

Hidden settings
---------------

You can configure most of the features in Sylpheed through the preferences
dialog, but there are a few parameters which don't have user interface
(you don't need to modify them in normal use). You must edit
~/.sylpheed-2.0/sylpheedrc by an editor while Sylpheed is not running.

allow_jisx0201_kana		allow JIS X 0201 Kana (half-width kana) on
				sending
				0: off  1: on   [default: 0]
translate_header		translate headers such as 'From:', 'To:' and
				'Subject:'
				0: off  1: on   [default: 1]
enable_rules_hint		enable alternating row colors for summary view
				0: off  1: on   [default: 1]
bold_unread			show unread messages using bold font in
				summary view
				0: off  1: on   [default: 1]
textview_cursor_visible		show cursor in the text view
				0: off  1: on   [default: 0]
mime_image_viewer		specify the command to open attached image
				files [default: none]
mime_audio_player		specify the command to open attached audio
				files [default: none]
mime_command			specify the command to open MIME attachments
				[default: none]
logwindow_line_limit		specify the limit of line numbers of log
				window
				0: unlimited  n (> 0): n lines [default: 1000]
mark_as_read_on_new_window	only mark messages as read when they are
				opened with new window
				0: off  1: on   [default: 0]

Unlike 1.0.x, this version doesn't allow direct modification of the menu
shortcuts by default. You can use the following methods to configure them:

1. Using GNOME 2.8 or later
   Run gconf-editor from 'Applications - System Tools - Configuration Editor'.
   Select 'desktop - gnome - interface' and check 'can-change-accels' in it.

2. Using GNOME before 2.8, or other environments
   Add gtk-can-change-accels = 1 to the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (or create a new
   one, if it doesn't exist).

3. When Sylpheed is not running, directly edit ~/.sylpheed-2.0/menurc with
   an editor.

sylpheed's Issues

[Question] Are google's folders/labels supported?

I've been trying to set up Sylpheed as a naive mail client (I'm trying to move from Windows 11 native Mail app): a mailbox per account structure. Unfortunately, after reading available FAQs and the documentation I failed to grasp how to achieve what I want. The best I managed is mapping default inboxes.
Is it possible to copy online structure to local storage? Where can I read about it?

[Question] Color label keybinds

Is there a way to bind key i.e. "1" to set color flag to orange, "2" to red and so on?
On 3.7.0 I only found this setting in menurc (gtk_accel_path "<SummaryView>/Color label/" "") which honestly didn't work

Feature request: RFC 6763

It is preferable to use RFC 6763 in "New account setup". This will allow you to avoid specifying "POP3 Gmail", "IMAP4 Gmail" and both POP3/IMAP4 microsoft mail separately.

Glib has g_resolver_lookup_service_async/g_resolver_lookup_service functions that may help.

Becoming unresponsive after inactivity

In the past, Sylpheed was not very good at automatically polling inboxes. But at least I knew that I could click on another folder and then back on the inbox and it was updated.

About 6 months ago, a new issue has come up: If I keep Sylpheed open and do not use it for a few minutes, it will no longer download inboxes at all. All I can do is to close the application and restart it. But doing this several times a day becomes abit annoying.

Here is my system info:

version 3.7.0 running under Mint Debiaan Edition 5
my e-mail accounts are hosted on uk2.net

It has perhaps something to do with some setting my e-mail provider has changed on their end, but their support was unable to help.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Win64 builds

It's 2023, a Win64 bin build should really exist, and be prioritized over the Win32 one.

Sylpheed crashes with some actions

I use version 3.8.0beta1 (Build 1187). I have configured many scripts in the Settings / Actions menu. When a > is involved to paste text into the composing window, e.g. cat path/to/text/file > Sylpheed crashes completely ( with all windows closing). I do not use this feature that much any more, but I think this is an old bug, present in former versions too. Could you please have a look at this?

Fails to build with GCC 14

This has been reported as Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/1075546.
The attached patch should fix it.
Thanks in advance!

Gmail がPOPでうまくダウンロードできない

Sylpheed Pro 2.8.0を使っています。Gmailのアカウントのmail をPOP3でダウンロードするため，アプリパスワードを準備し，アクセスしました。すると，昨年の４月１９日から７月５日までのメールだけがダウンロードされ、それ以後の受信したメールやそれ以前に受信したメールがサーバーにあるにもかかわらず，ダウンロードされません。なんどダウンロードしても，新たなメールがダウンロードされません。サーバー上にあるメールをローカルに保存したいのですが、それができず困っています。どなたか解決法を教えてもらえないでしょうか？

Session timed out. Which session?

When checking for e-mail on multiple accounts sometimes there is a popup mentioning: "Session timed out".
I would be nice if this popup would give more information. That seems possible to my since Sypheed knows which session timed out.
Thanks.

In gerneral, for most programs errormessages can and should be more informatieve in my opinion. If so I can save the user, debugger a lot of time.

Error: Could not establish a connection to the server | KolabNow

A few days ago, my Sylpheed config that's been working for months has suddenly quit working, but only on KolabNow and not Gmail. I have two emails setup in Sylpheed.

I verified it's a Sylpheed issue by checking Thunderbird (flatpak) and Trojita (Void Linux package), and they both have no issue connecting to KolabNow using the same IMAP and SMTP settings. Installing Trojita simply installed the trojita package and no other packages, and installing Trojita did not change Sylpheeds functionality.

The Sylpheed log states the following:

* creating IMAP4 connection to imap.kolabnow.com:993:993 ...
** LibSylph-WARNING: [10:14:18] Can't connect to IMAP4 server: imap.kolabnow.com:993:993

** Can't connect to IMAP4 server: imap.kolabnow.com:993:993
** LibSylph-WARNING: [10:14:18] Could not establish IMAP connection.

** Could not establish IMAP connection.

Sylpheed is on version 3.7.0 from the Void Linux repo and there are no updates available for it.

compose mail shortcut doesn't work in compose window

Hi,

This has been reported as https://bugs.debian.org/1036407
Quoting original submitter:

Control + M shortcut doesn't work in compose windows, effectively
preventing from opening a new compose message window while composing a
current one. This is something that happens often so such a restriction
only makes it difficult and tiresome to use Sylpheed, as it forces
you to open Sylpheed's window to be able to create it, and locate the
existing compose window afterwards, as Sylpheed window is likely to have
concealed the already existing compose window.

best regards,

Trouble importing CSV address file

Version 3.7.0 installed and mostly working great except for importing my own CSV address book file. I even exported the Personal address book (with 2 entries) to test1.csv using commas separate values, and test2.csv using tabs separate values. So far I have not been able to re-import either of these 2 files no matter what combination I try. Even though Sylpheed 3.7.0 created these 2 file I keep getting this error, "Error reading CSV fields".
This is very puzzling because importing my OE6 inbox.dbx worked flawlessly. BTW this is all on my Win10 Pro 64 22H2 ThinkPad laptop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Account cache isn't completely deleted on exit

I'm using Sylpheed Version 3.7.0 (Build 1185) on Windows 11 pro, running it from a generic directory (ZIP archive version, no installer).

I'm accessing mail from an IMAP server. If I configure the application to clear the account cache on exit, only the temporary files for downloaded messages are deleted. There remain a couple of files for each folder ".sylpheed_cache" and ".sylpheed_mark" with cached data.

Is this intentional? Is there any way to delete any remnants on the exit?

Add command line options to start Sylpheed with it's window hidden

It would also be nice to have such feature in preferences as well, but I'm primarily concerned with ability to start the program from the command line with only a tray icon visible at the start.

I cannot add labels, so it's a feature request, just FYI.

new user suggestion

I recently reset my system without backing up my data and encountered some issues when trying to recover my emails. I was wondering if it would be possible to implement a feature similar to Foxmail, where data is stored directly in the installation directory or to add a portable version option. I’m not sure if this suggestion has been made before, as I am new to using this email client. I think this would be a great addition and would greatly improve efficiency.

Trash Folder Confirmation prompt

Is there any way to turn off the confirmation prompt when deleting files in the "Trash" folder?

Sylpheed claims that SSL certificate has expired, despite being valid.

The SSL certificate it's complaining about expires in March, yet it still gives me a warning and does not let me always accept. I'm not sure what's causing this.

Here's what the dialogue box says:

The SSL certificate of mail.autistici.org cannot be verified by the following reason:
  certificate has expired

Do you accept this certificate?

Any help would be much appreciated!

「メール箱」？「メールボックス」？

Sylpheedの起動時に「フォルダに書き込めません」と出て、アカウント情報が消えてしまう事象が以前ありました。

また、今回、同様に起動時に「フォルダに書き込めません」と表示され、Sylpheefを再起動したところ、アカウント情報は消えていませんでしたが、メールの振り分けが動作しておらず、設定を確認したところ、また「フォルダに書き込めません」のメッセージがありました。よく見てみると「振り分け」および、アカウントの「受信」で設定されるフォルダ名が、過去の設定では「#mh/メールボックス/${foldername}」となっているたのに「#mh/メール箱/${foldername}」に変わってしまっていました。

どうもこれが「書き込めません」の原因のように思われます。「メール箱」「メールボックス」というのはプログラム内にハードコーディングされている名前でしょうか？バージョンやバグフィックスのたびに名前が変わってしまっている、という可能性はないでしょうか？

当方の環境は、Xubuntu 20.04 LTSで、デスクトップシステムは XFCE4.6、システムフォルダ名等は日本語に設定しています。

sylpheed bogofilter error in Fedora 40

Hello,
in fedora 40 bogofilter switched from berkeley db to sqlite.
Even after migration of the db, the default bogofilter comands will not word,

default is bogofilter -n -S -I, -N -s -Iand for classification -I.

You get an error and in the log only info is, bogofilter returned 3.

I than try -B instead of -I, and it works (or i think it works) now.
ctrl +J works and no error when filtering incoming mails.

I googled around and found no entry no issue. Cannot be that i am the first one. In F38 and in F39 it works, problem only is in F40

check new mail features should be an account preference, not a global preference

Hi,

This has been reported as https://bugs.debian.org/1036392
Quoting original submitter:

"Check new mail every X minutes" and "Check new mail on start" are
preferences that make sense and may be necessary to be account options,
not just common to all accounts, as it currently stands.

best regards,

"Hide message window" option is not retained when vertical layout is selected

Steps to reproduce

Select 'View' > 'Layout' > 'Vertical'.

Press 'V' to hide message window or uncheck the box for "Message window" in 'View' > "Show or hide".

Close and open Sylpheed again. The message window is visible.

Does sylpheed still support NetNews?

https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/features.html says yes, but if I try to create a new account, the only options are POP3, IMAP4 and the Google variants.

An option to start to tray

Currently, we have an option to minimize sylpheed to tray, however, we should also have an option to start it in tray, makes it far more convenient for those who want to make sylpheed a startup task

oauth2 for office365

I'm trying to get sylpheed working with office365 IMAP4, but so far I'm stuck - as I understand it, I have to create oauth2.ini file with specific data for microsoft's outlook/office365, but I don't know how - I see how it probably should look in oauth2.ini.sample file, but I really don't know how to fill it to get it working with office365 IMAP.
Can someone help me?

I'm using devel version 3.8.0beta compiled from source on Debian GNU/Linux 10.
And up until yesterday, sylpheed was working with office365 and PLAIN AUTH just fine, but now it seems they require oath2 so I have no choice.

"Filtering" Doesn't Work

Filtering is in quotes, because I only want to execute a command when certain emails are received. I tested with the more generic Configuration -> Common Preferences:
Execute command when new messages arrive
I have a command to play a sound.
That works and is tested.
The problem is any Filter I create will not trigger and play the same command that I tested with the generic feature:
Example:
Configuration -> Filter Settings
If any of the following condition matches
Subject contains test

Then I send an email with "test" in the subject.
I collect mail and it does not trigger the filter or the command
It does work with the generic "Execute command when new messages arrive"

I am assuming this functionality was never finished?

My system is the same as my friend's, but the error message is his. I note that he uses the Orca app because he is blind.

Sylpheed works fine for me.
I don't know if it's Orca's fault that Sylpheed doesn't work on him... . I don't use Orca, just for a test.

Add killfile/filtering functionality for NNTP accounts

In light of the increasing amounts on SPAM in Usenet, I register the recurrent request to implement filtering in Sylpheed:

Since it already has most the of necessary functionality as mail filters, expanding it to NNTP should not be very difficult. For example, whenever a Usenet matches a filter with the Delete from server, Sylpheed will not download that message.

Dark theme

It would be really nice if Sylpheed supported a dark theme. With zero knowledge of GTK2 themes I managed to get a dark theme somewhat working (see screenshot), based on Dark Olympic. So I know it's possible, but optimally the app should support OS theme preferences and theme switching.

メッセージ作成画面での文字列検索、文字列置換機能はありませんか？

「現在のメッセージ内の検索」では、作成中のメッセージの検索はできませんし、置換は出来ない様です。

Windowsのメモ帳の文字列検索、置換と同じ機能を追加して欲しいと思うのですが、

この様なアドインが既にあったりしますでしょうか？

自身でアドインを作成することも考えています。

EdMaxユーザ数十人をSylpheedに導いている最中に、「文字列検索、置換できないの？」と指摘されました。
「外部エディタで編集」は、煩雑過ぎて、この方法を案内するのは躊躇われます。

UTF-8 in headers incorrect display

We had letters with same headers:

This message violates RFC and contain more then 7bit characters in "Subject", but Sylpheed may display that correctly, which it does elsewhere.

Gmail imap login failing

Hi. I've added my gmail account to Sylpheed 3.7.0 on Fedora and the authentication is failing. I guess it should open a popup window with gmail login site as other email clients do. Here is the log when I try to "Rebuild folder tree":

フォルダ選択時に最新未読が選択される仕様の設定について

この挙動について、
設定→全般の設定→詳細→インターフェイスの「フォルダを開いたときに最初の未読メッセージを開く」
をON/OFFしてみましたが、ON/OFFに関わらず、最新未読が選択されてしまいます。

「フォルダを開いたときに最初の未読メッセージを開く」をOFFにして、
「最後に選択したメッセージを記憶する」をOFFにしたときに、
フォルダ選択直後の挙動は、どうなるのでしょうか？

それとも「～選択を記憶する」「～を開く」とかの理解が間違っているのでしょうか？

設定の不具合と思い、申告します。
