- highly configurable email client and news reader based on the GTK+
- GUI toolkit, it runs on the X Window System.
- Claws Mail is free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
- To run Claws Mail use 'claws-mail' on the command line.
- When claws-mail is executed for the first time a configuration
- 'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information
- necessary to create a new account.
- 2. Plugins
- ----------
- Claws Mail' capabilities are extended by plugins. It comes with
- the following plugins included, all of which are built automatically
- if the required libraries are present.
- Plugins are installed in $PREFIX/lib/claws-mail/plugins/

- Preferences/Plugins/SpamAssassin'.
- SpamAssassin is available from http://spamassassin.apache.org/.
-
- o Trayicon
- Places an icon in the system tray that indicates whether
- you have any new mail. A tooltip also shows the current
- new, unread and total number of messages
- Additonal plugins can be found here:
- http://www.claws-mail.org/plugins.php
- 3. Actions
- ----------
- The "actions" feature is a convenient way for the user to launch external
- commands to process a complete message file including headers and body or
- just one of its parts. It allows also the use of an external command to
- filter the whole text or just a selected part in the message window or in
- the compose window. This is a generic tool that allows to do any uncommon
- actions on the messages, and thus extends the possibilities of Claws Mail.
- For example, Claws Mail does not include the rot13 cyphering algorithm
- popular in some newsgroups. It does not support uuencoded messages. As
- all these features can be handled by external programs, the actions
- provide a convenient way to use them from the menu bar.
- a. Usage
- --------
- To create a new action, go to Configuration -> Actions.... The "Action
- Creation" dialog offers to enter the Menu name that will trigger the
- command. The created menu will be found in the Tools -> Actions submenu.
- By inserting a slash / in the menu name, you create a submenu.
- The command is entered in the Command line entry. Note that Claws Mail
- stores every single email in a separate file. This allows to use the
- following syntax for the command:
- * %f denotes the file name of the selected message. If you selected more
- than one, then the command will be launched for each message with
- the appropriate file name
- * %F denotes the list of the file names of the selected message. If only
- one message is selected, this amounts to %f, but if more messages
- are selected, then the command will be launched only once with the
- list of the file names. (You can use both %f and %F in one command:
- then the command will be launched for each selected message with
- the name of this message and with the list of all selected
- messages. I did not find a practical example for this.)
- * %p denotes the current selected message part of a multipart message.
- The part is decoded accordingly. If the message is not a multipart
- message, it denotes the message body.
- * Prepending >: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
- input a text that you will enter in a dialog window.
- * Prepending *: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
- input a text that you will enter in a dialog window. But in
- contrast to prepending >, the entered text is hidden (useful when
- entering passwords).
- * Appending an ampersand &: this will run the command asynchronously.
- That means "fire and forget". Claws Mail won't wait for the
- command to finish, nor will it catch its output or its error
- messages.
- * Prepending the vertical bar | (pipe-in): this will send the current
- displayed text or the current selected text from the message view
- or the compose window to the command standard input. The command
- will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
- * Appending the vertical bar | (pipe-out): this will replace the current
- displayed text or the current selected text from the message window
- or the compose window by the command standard output. The command
- will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
- Note: It is not possible to use actions containing %f, %F or %p from the
- compose window.
- When a command is run, and unless it is run asynchronously, Claws Mail
- will be insensitive to any interaction and it will wait for the command to
- finish. If the command takes too long (5 seconds), it will popup a dialog
- window allowing to stop it. This dialog will also be displayed as soon as
- the command has some output: error messages or even its standard output
- when the command is not a "pipe-out" command. When multiple commands are
- being run, they are run in parallel and each command output is separated
- from the outputs of the others.
- a. Examples
- -----------
- Here are some examples that are listed in the same syntax as used for
- storing the actions list. You can copy and past the definition in your
- ~/.claws-mail/actionsrc file (exit Claws Mail before). The syntax
- is very simple: one line per action, each action contains the menu name
- and the command line separated by a colon and a space ": "
- Purpose: rot13 cyphering
- Definition: Rot13: |tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M|
- Details: This will apply the rot13 cyphering algorithm to the
- (selected) text in the message/compose view.
- Purpose: Decoding uuencoded messages
- Definition: UUdeview: xdeview %F&
- Details: xdeview comes with uudeview. If an encoded file is split in
- multiple messages, just select them all and run the command.
- Purpose: Display uuencoded image
- Definition: Display uuencoded: uudec %f&
- Details: Displays uuencoded files. The uudec[1] script can be found in
- the 'tools' directory of the distribution package.
-
- Purpose: Alter messages
- Definition: Edit message: gvim -f %F
- Details: Allows editing of any received message. Can be used to remove
- unneeded message parts, etc.
- Purpose: Pretty format
- Definition: Par: |par 72Tbgjqw74bEe B=._A_a 72bg|
- Details: par is a utility that can pretty format any text. It does a
- very good job in indenting quoted messages, and justifying
- text. Used when composing a message
- Purpose: Browse
- Definition: Part/Dillo: dillo %p&
- Details: Browse the selected message part in Dillo.
- [1] The uudec script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
- distribution package. It needs uudecode and ImageMagick's display. The
- latter can be replaced by any image viewer that can get input from
- standard input. The script could also be modified to use temporary files
- instead of standard input.
- 4. Icon Themes
- --------------
- Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
- downloaded from http://www.claws-mail.org/themes.php
- You will need to create a directory called 'themes' in your config
- directory, unpack them into this directory, and then use the interface
- to select them, /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Themes
- This interface can also be used to install new themes.
- 5. Spell Checking
- -----------------
- a. Requirements
- b. Configuration and installation
- c. Usage
- d. Known problems
- a. Requirements
- ---------------
- The spell checker in Claws Mail requires the GNU/aspell library
- (http://www.gnu.org/software/aspell), version 0.50 or newer.
- You also need the dictionaries. Check GNU/aspell home page for how
- to download and install them.
-
- NB: The old dictionaries used by the old aspell will not work.
- b. Configuring Claws
- --------------------
- Spell checking is enabled automatically if the aspell executable is
- found. If it is in unusual places, use '--with-aspell-prefix' to state
- the path to the aspell executable. E.g., if aspell's full path is
- /foo/bar/bin/aspell, then use:
- ./configure --with-aspell-prefix=/foo/bar
- The '--with-aspell-prefix=PREFIX' option will let the configure
- script search for includes and libraries in PREFIX/include and PREFIX/lib.
- You can also manually specify the includes and libraries path by using
- either following options:
- --with-aspell-includes=/foo/bar/include
- and/or
- --with-aspell-libs=/rab/oof/lib
- as appropriate.
- The configure script summarizes the options compiled in. Check that
- it lists 'GNU/aspell = yes'.
- Then proceed as usual, with 'make' and 'make install'.
- c. Usage
- --------
- After successful compiling, you need to tell Claws Mail where your
- dictionaries reside. The configure script should have found it, but in
- case it did not, run 'aspell config dict-dir' on the shell to get the
- path to the dictionaries.
- Then run claws-mail and go to /Configuration/Preferences/Compose/Spell Checking.
- Check the box 'Enable spell checker' and use the directory selector to select
- the path where the dictionaries reside. Within the file selector, go to that
- directory and select *any* file in the file lists. Click OK. Then, you should
- be able to select your default dictionary.
- When composing, misspelled words are highlighted. Click on any
- highlighted word with the right mouse button to get a list of
- suggestions. The first entry of the menu just displays the unknown
- word. Selecting 'Accept in this session' (or hitting MOD1-Space,
- where MOD1 is usually the ALT key) will ignore this word and accept
- it in this message. Selecting the next entry, "Add to dictionary", which
- is bound to MOD1-Enter combination, will add the unknown word to your
- personal dictionary to learn it. The next entries are the suggested words.
- The first 15 suggestions can be accessed by typing one of the first letters
- of Latin alphabet (if this does not suit your language, please send
- a mail to melvin.hadasht@free.fr). Aspell has a 'learn from mistake'
- function that can be used by pressing the MOD1 key and selecting the
- suggestion (with the keyboard or with the mouse). See GNU/aspell manual
- §6.3 for an explanation of this feature (also called 'replacement storing').
- If you click with the right mouse button everywhere else, or if you
- shift-right-click even on a misspelled word, you get the
- configuration menu. 'Check all' highlights all misspelled words.
- With this menu, you can also change the dictionary while editing.
- Finally, you can change the suggestion mode, and the learn from
- misktakes feature.
- Spell checking can also be done using keyboard shortcuts. In the
- 'Edit' menu of the compose window, there are two menus 'Check backwards
- misspelled word' and 'Forward to next misspelled word'. Add to them
- appropriate keyboard shortcuts. 'Check backwards misspelled word'
- checks backwards from cursor position for the first misspelled word.
- If it finds one, it displays the suggestions lists which can be handled
- with the keyboard as described before. When the suggestion menu is
- closed, the cursor returns to its original position to be able to
- continue editing. The 'Forward to next misspelled word' do the same
- thing in the other direction but moves the cursor at the end of the
- misspelled word. This way, you can spell check easily a whole message
- starting from its beginning and using the 'Forward to next misspelled
- word' keyboard short cut.
-
- 6. Quick Search with extended search
- ------------------------------------
- Quick Search, with its powerful Extended search function,
- enables searching through folder's messages.
- Extended Search allows one to define criteria that messages must
- have in order to match and be displayed in the summary view pane.
- Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
- Search type extended allows one to use Claws Mail's powerful
- filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
- from regexpcase "foo"
- subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "claws-mail"
- Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
- powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
- immediately recognise most of the available patterns:
- Pattern Parameter Selects
- ----------------------------------------------------
- a all messages
- ag # messages whose age is greater than #
- al # messages whose age is lower than #
- b S messages which contain S in the message body
- B S messages which contain S in the whole message
- c S messages carbon-copied to S
- C S message is either to: or cc: to S
- D deleted messages
- e S messages which contain S in the Sender field
- E S true if execute "S" succeeds
- f S messages originating from user S
- F forwarded messages
- h S messages which contain header S
- i S messages which contain S in Message-Id header
- I S messages which contain S in inreplyto header
- L locked messages
- n S messages which are in newsgroup S
- N new messages
- O old messages
- r messages which have been replied to
- R read messages
- s S messages which contain S in subject
- se # messages whose score is equal to #
- sg # messages whose score is greater than #
- sl # messages whose score is lower than #
- Se # messages whose size is equal to #
- Sg # messages whose size is greater than #
- Ss # messages whose size is smaller than #
- t S messages which have been sent to S
- T marked messages
- U unread messages
- x S messages which contain S in References header
- y S messages which contain S in X-Label header
- # means number
- S means regexp string
- It is possible to use logical operators AND (&), OR (|) and
- NOT (! or ~). Case sensitive search is achieved with %.
- Examples:
- T marked messages
- U unread messages
- f "john beavis" messages from john beavis
- %f "John Beavis" messages from John Beavis (case sensitive)
- ~s foo messages which do not have foo in the subject
- f foo & ~s bar messages from foo that do not have bar in thesubject
- 7. Custom toolbar
- -----------------
- /Configuration/Preferences/Customize Toolbars lets you define the
- toolbar you want. The configuration dialog enables you to set an icon,
- an appropriate text, and map an action to it. Actions to choose
- from are predefined. You can also have your "Claws Mail Actions"
- (refer to "Actions" above) on your toolbar.
- Example:
- * Configuration->Actions
- - add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
- * Configuration->Custom toolbar
- - select Claws Mail Actions Feature
- - select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
- - choose an icon and click ok
-
- 8. Partial downloading of POP3 mails
- ------------------------------------
- Messages over the configured size limit, (/[Account preferences]/
- Receive/Message size limit), will be partially retrieved. These
- messages will have a Notice View displayed (above the Message View),
- informing of the partially retrieved state and the total size of the
- message. The Notice View will also contain two buttons, 'Mark for
- download' and 'Mark for deletion'. If the user clicks 'Mark for
- download', the message will be downloaded in full at the next message
- retrieval, (and the partial one deleted); if the user checks 'Mark for
- deletion' it will be removed from the server after the normal delay
- as specified in the POP3 account's 'Receive' preferences.
- If a user moves a partially retrieved message to the Trash folder
- it will be deleted on the server at the next retrieval after the
- Trash folder has been emptied.
- 9. Hidden options
- -----------------
- bold_unread (default: 1)
- show unread messages using bold font in summary view
- 0: off 1: on
- cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
- the maximum kB of memory Claws Mail should use.
- It will try to keep the memory usage below this
- value, but it will always use the assigned
- amount of memory for speed gain.
- cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)
- the minimum time in minutes Claws Mail will keep
- the folder cache in memory. If a cache is more
- recent than this time it will not be freed even
- if the memory usage is above the maximum. You
- should probably set this value higher than your
- mail check interval. Otherwise the cache will
- always be freed between checks even if the folder
- is accessed on every check, which will cause much
- disk IO.
- compose_no_markup (default: 0)
- prevent italic and bold text in the Compose dialog
- account selector
- 0: normal (markup) 1: no markup
- enable_dotted_lines (default: 0)
- Use the old dotted line look in the main window
- GtkTreeView components, (Folder List and Message List),
- instead of the modern lineless look.
- enable_hscrollbar (default: 1)
- enable horizontal scroll bar in summary view
- 0: off 1: on
- enable_swap_from (default: 0)
- display sender's email address in To column in Sent
- folder instead of recipient's
- 0: off 1: on
- folderview_vscrollbar_policy (default: 0)
- specify the policy of vertical scroll bar of folder view
- 0: always 1: automatic 2: never
- hover_timeout (default: 500)
- time in milliseconds that will cause a folder tree to
- expand during drag n drop when the mouse cover is held
- over it
- live_dangerously (default: 0)
- Don't ask for confirmation before definitive deletion of
- emails.
- log_error_color, log_in_color, log_msg_color, log_out_color,
- log_warn_color
- The colours used in the log window.
- mark_as_read_delay (default: 0)
- Number of seconds to wait before marking an opened mail
- as read.
- respect_flowed_format (default: 0)
- Respect format=flowed on text/plain message parts. This will
- cause some mails to have long lines, but will fix some URLs
- that would otherwise be wrapped.
-
- skip_ssl_cert_check (default: 0)
- Disables the verification of SSL certificates.

- ---------------------
- You are encourged to send patches via the Claws Mail sourceforge
- project's Patch Tracker.
- http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=384600&group_id=25528&func=browse
- If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan
- <paul@claws-mail.org> or consider posting to the
- Claws Mail-users mailing list.
- http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php
- Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
- http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
- Of course, you can also post to the Claws Mail-users mailing list.
- Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
- don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
- a long time to stabilise, send a mail to Paul Mangan
- <paul@claws-mail.org>. We can probably arrange access to the
- Claws Mail CVS tree.
- 12. How to request features
- ---------------------------
- Ask around in Claws Mail-users ML. Note that some developers may
- have already thought about your feature, may,perhaps, be implementing it,
- or the feature was already discussed and rejected for whatever reason.
- You might want to go ahead and hack a patch for it. (That would be very
- cool!) Another possibility is to use the Feature Request Tracker at the
- sourceforge project.
- http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=25528&atid=384601
