  34. 1. What is Claws Mail?
  35. --------------------------
  36. Claws Mail (previously known as Sylpheed-Claws) is a lightweight and
  37. highly configurable email client and news reader based on the GTK+
  38. GUI toolkit, it runs on the X Window System.
  39. Claws Mail is free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
  40. To run Claws Mail use 'claws-mail' on the command line.
  41. When claws-mail is executed for the first time a configuration
  42. 'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information
  43. necessary to create a new account.
  44. 2. Plugins
  45. ----------
  46. Claws Mail' capabilities are extended by plugins. It comes with
  47. the following plugins included, all of which are built automatically
  48. if the required libraries are present.
  49. Plugins are installed in $PREFIX/lib/claws-mail/plugins/
  50. and have a suffix of '.so'
  51. To load a plugin go to '/Configuration/Plugins' and click
  52. the 'Load Plugin' button.
  53. Select the plugin that you want and click 'OK'
  54. o Bogofilter
  55. Enables the scanning of incoming mail received from a POP,
  56. IMAP, or LOCAL account using Bogofilter. It can optionally
  57. delete mail identified as spam or save it to a designated folder.
  58. Bogofilter is a pure Bayesian filter, therefore it has better
  59. speed performance than SpamAssassin but might catch less spam.
  60. Bogofilter is available from http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/
  61. o Dillo HTML Viewer
  62. Enables the viewing of html messages using the Dillo web
  63. browser, version 0.7.0 or newer. It uses Dillo's --local
  64. option by default for safe browsing. Preferences can be
  65. found in '/Configuration/Preferences/Plugins/Dillo Browser'.
  66. Dillo is available from http://www.dillo.org/
  67. o PGP/Core
  68. Handles core PGP functions and is required by the PGP/Inline
  69. and PGP/MIME plugins.
  70. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, <ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/>
  71. o PGP/inline
  72. Handles inline PGP signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
  73. decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
  74. own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, <ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/>
  75. o PGP/MIME
  76. Handles PGP/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
  77. decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
  78. own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, <ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/>
  79. o S/MIME
  80. This plugin handles S/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
  81. decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your own mails.
  82. o SpamAssassin
  83. Enables the scanning of incoming mail received from a POP,
  84. IMAP or LOCAL account using SpamAssassin. It can optionally
  85. delete mail identified as spam or save it to a designated
  86. folder. Preferences can be found in '/Configuration/
  87. Preferences/Plugins/SpamAssassin'.
  88. SpamAssassin is available from http://spamassassin.apache.org/.
  89. o Trayicon
  90. Places an icon in the system tray that indicates whether
  91. you have any new mail. A tooltip also shows the current
  92. new, unread and total number of messages
  93. Additonal plugins can be found here:
  94. http://www.claws-mail.org/plugins.php
  95. 3. Actions
  96. ----------
  97. The "actions" feature is a convenient way for the user to launch external
  98. commands to process a complete message file including headers and body or
  99. just one of its parts. It allows also the use of an external command to
  100. filter the whole text or just a selected part in the message window or in
  101. the compose window. This is a generic tool that allows to do any uncommon
  102. actions on the messages, and thus extends the possibilities of Claws Mail.
  103. For example, Claws Mail does not include the rot13 cyphering algorithm
  104. popular in some newsgroups. It does not support uuencoded messages. As
  105. all these features can be handled by external programs, the actions
  106. provide a convenient way to use them from the menu bar.
  107. a. Usage
  108. --------
  109. To create a new action, go to Configuration -> Actions.... The "Action
  110. Creation" dialog offers to enter the Menu name that will trigger the
  111. command. The created menu will be found in the Tools -> Actions submenu.
  112. By inserting a slash / in the menu name, you create a submenu.
  113. The command is entered in the Command line entry. Note that Claws Mail
  114. stores every single email in a separate file. This allows to use the
  115. following syntax for the command:
  116. * %f denotes the file name of the selected message. If you selected more
  117. than one, then the command will be launched for each message with
  118. the appropriate file name
  119. * %F denotes the list of the file names of the selected message. If only
  120. one message is selected, this amounts to %f, but if more messages
  121. are selected, then the command will be launched only once with the
  122. list of the file names. (You can use both %f and %F in one command:
  123. then the command will be launched for each selected message with
  124. the name of this message and with the list of all selected
  125. messages. I did not find a practical example for this.)
  126. * %p denotes the current selected message part of a multipart message.
  127. The part is decoded accordingly. If the message is not a multipart
  128. message, it denotes the message body.
  129. * Prepending >: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
  130. input a text that you will enter in a dialog window.
  131. * Prepending *: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
  132. input a text that you will enter in a dialog window. But in
  133. contrast to prepending >, the entered text is hidden (useful when
  134. entering passwords).
  135. * Appending an ampersand &: this will run the command asynchronously.
  136. That means "fire and forget". Claws Mail won't wait for the
  137. command to finish, nor will it catch its output or its error
  138. messages.
  139. * Prepending the vertical bar | (pipe-in): this will send the current
  140. displayed text or the current selected text from the message view
  141. or the compose window to the command standard input. The command
  142. will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
  143. * Appending the vertical bar | (pipe-out): this will replace the current
  144. displayed text or the current selected text from the message window
  145. or the compose window by the command standard output. The command
  146. will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
  147. Note: It is not possible to use actions containing %f, %F or %p from the
  148. compose window.
  149. When a command is run, and unless it is run asynchronously, Claws Mail
  150. will be insensitive to any interaction and it will wait for the command to
  151. finish. If the command takes too long (5 seconds), it will popup a dialog
  152. window allowing to stop it. This dialog will also be displayed as soon as
  153. the command has some output: error messages or even its standard output
  154. when the command is not a "pipe-out" command. When multiple commands are
  155. being run, they are run in parallel and each command output is separated
  156. from the outputs of the others.
  157. a. Examples
  158. -----------
  159. Here are some examples that are listed in the same syntax as used for
  160. storing the actions list. You can copy and past the definition in your
  161. ~/.claws-mail/actionsrc file (exit Claws Mail before). The syntax
  162. is very simple: one line per action, each action contains the menu name
  163. and the command line separated by a colon and a space ": "
  164. Purpose: rot13 cyphering
  165. Definition: Rot13: |tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M|
  166. Details: This will apply the rot13 cyphering algorithm to the
  167. (selected) text in the message/compose view.
  168. Purpose: Decoding uuencoded messages
  169. Definition: UUdeview: xdeview %F&
  170. Details: xdeview comes with uudeview. If an encoded file is split in
  171. multiple messages, just select them all and run the command.
  172. Purpose: Display uuencoded image
  173. Definition: Display uuencoded: uudec %f&
  174. Details: Displays uuencoded files. The uudec[1] script can be found in
  175. the 'tools' directory of the distribution package.
  176. Purpose: Alter messages
  177. Definition: Edit message: gvim -f %F
  178. Details: Allows editing of any received message. Can be used to remove
  179. unneeded message parts, etc.
  180. Purpose: Pretty format
  181. Definition: Par: |par 72Tbgjqw74bEe B=._A_a 72bg|
  182. Details: par is a utility that can pretty format any text. It does a
  183. very good job in indenting quoted messages, and justifying
  184. text. Used when composing a message
  185. Purpose: Browse
  186. Definition: Part/Dillo: dillo %p&
  187. Details: Browse the selected message part in Dillo.
  188. [1] The uudec script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
  189. distribution package. It needs uudecode and ImageMagick's display. The
  190. latter can be replaced by any image viewer that can get input from
  191. standard input. The script could also be modified to use temporary files
  192. instead of standard input.
  193. 4. Icon Themes
  194. --------------
  195. Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
  196. downloaded from http://www.claws-mail.org/themes.php
  197. You will need to create a directory called 'themes' in your config
  198. directory, unpack them into this directory, and then use the interface
  199. to select them, /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Themes
  200. This interface can also be used to install new themes.
  201. 5. Quick Search with extended search
  202. ------------------------------------
  203. Quick Search, with its powerful Extended search function,
  204. enables searching through folder's messages.
  205. Extended Search allows one to define criteria that messages must
  206. have in order to match and be displayed in the summary view pane.
  207. Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
  208. Search type extended allows one to use Claws Mail's powerful
  209. filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
  210. from regexpcase "foo"
  211. subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "claws-mail"
  212. Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
  213. powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
  214. immediately recognise most of the available patterns:
  215. Pattern Parameter Selects
  216. ----------------------------------------------------
  217. a all messages
  218. ag # messages whose age is greater than #
  219. al # messages whose age is lower than #
  220. b S messages which contain S in the message body
  221. B S messages which contain S in the whole message
  222. c S messages carbon-copied to S
  223. C S message is either to: or cc: to S
  224. D deleted messages
  225. e S messages which contain S in the Sender field
  226. E S true if execute "S" succeeds
  227. f S messages originating from user S
  228. F forwarded messages
  229. h S messages which contain header S
  230. i S messages which contain S in Message-Id header
  231. I S messages which contain S in inreplyto header
  232. k # messages which are marked with color #
  233. L locked messages
  234. n S messages which are in newsgroup S
  235. N new messages
  236. O old messages
  237. r messages which have been replied to
  238. R read messages
  239. s S messages which contain S in subject
  240. se # messages whose score is equal to #
  241. sg # messages whose score is greater than #
  242. sl # messages whose score is lower than #
  243. Se # messages whose size is equal to #
  244. Sg # messages whose size is greater than #
  245. Ss # messages whose size is smaller than #
  246. t S messages which have been sent to S
  247. tg S messages with tags containing S
  248. tagged messages which are tagged
  249. T marked messages
  250. U unread messages
  251. x S messages which contain S in References header
  252. x "cmd args" messages returning 0 when passed to command
  253. - %F is message file
  254. y S messages which contain S in X-Label header
  255. & logical AND operator
  256. | logical OR operator
  257. ! or ~ logical NOT operator
  258. % case sensitive search
  259. all filtering expressions are allowed
  260. # means number
  261. S means regexp string
  262. It is possible to use logical operators AND (&), OR (|) and
  263. NOT (! or ~). Case sensitive search is achieved with %.
  264. Examples:
  265. T marked messages
  266. U unread messages
  267. f "john beavis" messages from john beavis
  268. %f "John Beavis" messages from John Beavis (case sensitive)
  269. ~s foo messages which do not have foo in the subject
  270. f foo & ~s bar messages from foo that do not have bar in thesubject
  271. 6. Custom toolbar
  272. -----------------
  273. /Configuration/Preferences/Customize Toolbars lets you define the
  274. toolbar you want. The configuration dialog enables you to set an icon,
  275. an appropriate text, and map an action to it. Actions to choose
  276. from are predefined. You can also have your "Claws Mail Actions"
  277. (refer to "Actions" above) on your toolbar.
  278. Example:
  279. * Configuration->Actions
  280. - add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
  281. * Configuration->Custom toolbar
  282. - select Claws Mail Actions Feature
  283. - select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
  284. - choose an icon and click ok
  285. 7. Partial downloading of POP3 mails
  286. ------------------------------------
  287. Messages over the configured size limit, (/[Account preferences]/
  288. Receive/Message size limit), will be partially retrieved. These
  289. messages will have a Notice View displayed (above the Message View),
  290. informing of the partially retrieved state and the total size of the
  291. message. The Notice View will also contain two buttons, 'Mark for
  292. download' and 'Mark for deletion'. If the user clicks 'Mark for
  293. download', the message will be downloaded in full at the next message
  294. retrieval, (and the partial one deleted); if the user checks 'Mark for
  295. deletion' it will be removed from the server after the normal delay
  296. as specified in the POP3 account's 'Receive' preferences.
  297. If a user moves a partially retrieved message to the Trash folder
  298. it will be deleted on the server at the next retrieval after the
  299. Trash folder has been emptied.
  300. 8. Hidden options
  301. -----------------
  302. It is recommended that you use Clawsker to edit these options,
  303. http://www.claws-mail.org/clawsker
  304. addressbook_use_editaddress_dialog (default: 1)
  305. Use a separate dialogue to edit a person's details. '0'
  306. will use a form embedded in the addressbook's main window.
  307. 0: off 1: on
  308. bold_unread (default: 1)
  309. show unread messages using bold font in summary view
  310. 0: off 1: on
  311. cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
  312. the maximum kB of memory Claws Mail should use. It will try
  313. to keep the memory usage below this value, but it will always
  314. use the assigned amount of memory for speed gain.
  315. cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)

  517. 10. How to contribute
  518. ---------------------
  519. You are encourged to send patches via the Claws Mail bugzilla at
  520. http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
  521. But please first read the patch guidelines here:
  522. http://www.claws-mail.org/devel.php
  523. If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan
  524. <paul@claws-mail.org> or consider posting to the
  525. Claws Mail-users mailing list.
  526. http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php
  527. Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
  528. http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
  529. Of course, you can also post to the Claws Mail-users mailing list.
  530. Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
  531. don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
  532. a long time to stabilise, send a mail to Paul Mangan
  533. <paul@claws-mail.org>. We can probably arrange access to the
  534. Claws Mail CVS tree.
  535. 11. How to request features
  536. ---------------------------
  537. Ask around in Claws Mail-users ML. Note that some developers may
  538. have already thought about your feature and may, perhaps, be implementing
  539. it, or the feature was already discussed and rejected for whatever reason.
  540. You might want to go ahead and hack a patch for it. (That would be very
  541. cool!) Another possibility is to add a request to our bugzilla, (severity:
  542. 'enhancement'), at
  543. http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
  544. 12. Installing Claws Mail from CVS
  545. --------------------------------------
  546. a. Downloading
  547. --------------
  548. To download the latest cvs cd to the directory where you wish to download
  549. to and type the following information:
  550. export CVS_RSH=ssh
  551. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@claws-mail.org:/ co -r gtk2 claws
  552. Later, when you want to update your local repository, you'll just have to
  553. go back to the 'claws' directory, and type:
  554. export CVS_RSH=ssh
  555. cvs -z3 update -dPR
  556. b. Installing
  557. -------------
  558. To compile and install use the following commands:
  559. ./autogen.sh [add configure options as required]
  560. make
  561. make install [as root]
  562. You will need a full set of development tools installed to be able to run
  563. autogen.sh. See also ac/README.
