Any POSIX compliant UNIX or similar OS eg. Linux, -FreeBSD, Solaris -GTK+ 1.2.6 or later -A recent ANSI C compiler (gcc 2.7.2.3 should also -work) -Note: it is reported that Sun C will not compile -Sylpheed. -Optionally: -<UL> -<LI>Imlib or gdk-pixbuf (for built-in image view)</LI> -<LI>libcompface (for X-Face)</LI> -<LI>libjconv (for I18N)</LI> -<LI>GPGME (for GnuPG)</LI> -<LI>the equivalent of GTK+-devel and Xfree86-devel.</LI> -</UL> - -Otherwise ./configure will fail. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.2">2.2 Q02 How do I set up Sylpheed?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. When you run Sylpheed for the first time, it will -ask you where you want to store your mailboxes. The -default is <homedir>/Mail. You can change this to -anything you like as long as it is a valid directory -name. -<P>Please note: When Sylpheed is executed for the first time, it automatically creates the configuration files under $HOME/.sylpheed/, and asks you the location of mailbox. The default is $HOME/Mail. If some files which are non-MH format already exist on the directory, you will have to specify another location. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.3">2.3 Q03 How do I set up an account?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. After loading Sylpheed for the first time, you can -add an e-mail account by clicking the -"Configuration" menu. Select the option "Create new -account" and fill in the appropriate fields. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.4">2.4 Q04 How many accounts can I set up in Sylpheed?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. The number is unlimited. The limit is reached when -your computer stops responding. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.5">2.5 Q05 Why does Sylpheed not delete my mails when I press "delete"? I set a filter, and Sylpheed does not filter. I moved a mail to a different mailbox and it did not move.</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. You have to click the "execute" button. -The other solution: in the configuration settings -(common preferences > interface tab) you have to -check the "execute commands immediately" box. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.6">2.6 Q06 Can I set up special addresses/ports for my mailserver / newsserver?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. Yes, you can. In the configuration per account you -can specify the exact port addresses you want to use. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.7">2.7 Q07 Does Sylpheed have options for threading messages?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. Yes. You can switch it on and off in the Summary -Menu, just select "Thread View" or press Ctrl+T. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.8">2.8 Q08 Can I create multiple levels of subfolders to store mail?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. Absolutely. This is no problem. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.9">2.9 Q09 Why isn't Sylpheed sending my mail out?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. You need to create at least one account in order to -send. (This is a wonderful gotcha on LAN installs -with only a local mailbox feed). -<H2><A NAME="ss2.10">2.10 Q10 How do I apply a patch after downloading it?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. Copy patch to sylpheed directory -Apply the patch: -<P><CODE>% patch -p0 < some.patch</CODE> -<P>Or, if it's gzipped: -<P><CODE>% gzip -dc some.patch.gz | patch -p0</CODE> -<P>Run <CODE>./autogen.sh</CODE>, remove the generated <CODE>/config.cache</CODE> -file (unless you want to install in prefix -<CODE>/usr/local</CODE>). -Run <CODE>./configure</CODE> with the appropriate options and -then <CODE>make</CODE>. -(Text as found on the Sylpheed patches page.) -<H2><A NAME="ss2.11">2.11 Q11 How do I compile in support for compface pictures?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. You have to have a package called <CODE>libcompface</CODE> -installed, so this is available for compiling into -Sylpheed. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.12">2.12 Q12 How do I make my own compface image?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. The faces package contains a program called xbm2ikon script, -which converts a 48x48 xbm to the format suitable for -compface. Thanks to Jeff Dairiki, you can have a complete online course in this. Visit -<A HREF="http://www.dairiki.org/xface/">this page</A> for the details. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.13">2.13 Q13 How can I tell my browser/newsclient/other program to use Sylpheed as e-mail program?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. In the settings part of the program, write -<CODE>sylpheed --compose</CODE> -<H2><A NAME="ss2.14">2.14 Q14 How do I enable GPG support in Sylpheed?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. When compiling Sylpheed, make sure you add <CODE>--enable-gpgme</CODE> in the ./configure command. -When that completes successfully, there is a "privacy" section in the Common preferences. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.15">2.15 Q15 Mutt does not recognize Sylpheed's MH structure</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. For this to work you need to use the "touch" command in every MH folder. "touch" the file .xmhcache and Mutt should do just fine. -<H2><A NAME="ss2.16">2.16 Q16 Viewing a GIF file within Sylpheed causes a segmentation fault.</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. In case this happens, you can easily fix that by adding the following to /etc/mime.types: -<P><CODE>image/gif gif</CODE> -<H2><A NAME="ss2.17">2.17 Q17 How can I make Sylpheed notify me when new mail arrives?</A> -</H2> - -<P>A. For this you can do several things: -<P>* Look at the Sylpheed patch page at -<A HREF="http://www.teledix.net/sylpheed/">Teledix.net</A> for a new mail patch. -<P>* Download Gkrellm or a similar program that is able to notify you of new incoming mail.
