45 1. What is Claws Mail?
46 --------------------------
48 Claws Mail (previously known as Sylpheed-Claws) is a lightweight and
49 highly configurable email client and news reader based on the GTK+
50 GUI toolkit, it runs on the X Window System.
52 Claws Mail is free software distributed under the GNU GPL.
54 To run Claws Mail use 'claws-mail' on the command line.
56 When claws-mail is executed for the first time a configuration
57 'Wizard' will appear prompting you for the minimum information
58 necessary to create a new account.
64 Claws Mail' capabilities are extended by plugins. It comes with
65 the following plugins included, all of which are built automatically
66 if the required libraries are present.
68 Plugins are installed in $PREFIX/lib/claws-mail/plugins/
69 and have a suffix of '.so'
70 To load a plugin go to '/Configuration/Plugins' and click
71 the 'Load Plugin' button.
72 Select the plugin that you want and click 'OK'
74 All plugin preferences can be found under
75 '/Configuration/Preferences/Plugins/'.
78 Notifies of new mail via the mail LED available on some laptops. The
79 LED can be set to blinking or on states when new mail is received.
80 Appropriate kernel modules have to be loaded first for this plugin to
81 work. Laptops supported are from ACER (acerhk and acer_acpi modules),
82 ASUS (asus_laptop and asus_acpi), IBM (ibm_acpi), Lenovo (tm_smapi)
83 and Fujitsu (apanel) manufacturers.
86 Saves mail addresses typed in the 'To', 'Cc' or 'Bcc' fields of
87 outgoing messages to a designated folder in the address book.
88 Addresses are saved only if not already present in the address book.
91 Archives mail folders using libarchive library. Folders can be archived
92 with or without compression (ZIP, GZIP or BZIP2) and also in several
93 formats (TAR, SHAR, PAX or CPIO).
94 Libarchive is available from http://www.libarchive.org/.
97 Selectively removes attachments from messages. Messages are permanently
98 modified by using this feature, so be careful!
101 Warns the user of possibly forgotten attachments when some keywords
102 are found in the outgoing messages. False positives (being warned when
103 no attachment is realy needed) exist, but some configuration options
104 can help to reduce their probability.
107 Enables the scanning of incoming mail received from a POP,
108 IMAP, or LOCAL account using Bogofilter. It can optionally
109 delete mail identified as spam or save it to a designated folder.
110 Bogofilter is a pure Bayesian filter, therefore it has better
111 speed performance than SpamAssassin but might catch less spam.
112 Bogofilter is available from http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/.
115 Checks all messages received from IMAP, POP or local accounts using
116 BSFilter, a bayesian spam filter program, which has to be installed
117 locally. Messages identified as spam can be deleted or saved to a
119 Bsfilter is available from http://sourceforge.jp/projects/bsfilter/.
122 Uses the Clam AntiVirus in daemon mode to scan received messages from
123 IMAP, POP or local accounts. Scanning is done through a socket to the
124 daemon, so it has to be previously configured to allow this.
125 Clam AntiVirus is available from http://www.clamav.net/.
128 Modifies downloaded messages and inserts special headers containing
129 some download information: UIDL, Claws Mail account name, POP server,
130 user ID and retrieval time. These headers can be used later for more
131 elaborate filtering or processing rules.
134 Renders HTML mails and HTML parts of multipart messages using the GTK+
135 port of the WebKit library. External content is blocked by default
136 (including images) to avoid remote tracking, but can be enabled either
137 globally or just on the displayed message.
138 GTK+ WebKit is available from http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/.
141 Includes your Gmail account contacts in the list generated for
142 Tab-address completion on compose window, using the GData library.
143 Gdata library is available from https://live.gnome.org/libgdata/.
146 Handles mailboxes in Mbox format using the libEtPan! library. Mbox
147 files can be added to the folder tree and used like regular mailboxes.
148 LibEtPan! is available from http://www.etpan.org/.
151 Writes a header summary to a log file for each mail received after
152 sorting. The file for the summary is ~/Mail/NewLog.
155 Provides various ways of notifying the user of new and unread email.
156 Current methods include: a banner, a popup window, a user command,
157 a message to a LCD daemon, a system tray icon and an indicator icon.
158 Sound notifications are also possible through libcanberra. Each method
159 can be customized in detail through the plugin preferences.
160 Indicator library is available from https://launchpad.net/libindicator/
161 and libcanberra from http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libcanberra/.
164 Extends the filtering possibilities of Claws Mail. Provides a Perl 5
165 interface to Claws Mail's filtering mechanism, allowing the use of full
166 Perl power in email filters. A conversion script is provided to
167 translate user rules into perl rules suitable for this plugin.
168 Perl is available from http://www.perl.org/.
171 Displays Portable Document Format (PDF) and PostScript attachments
172 within the message view using Poppler. PostScript attachments are
173 converted to PDF on the fly by the 'gs' tool, which has to be installed
174 first. The 'gs' tool is available from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/.
175 The Poppler library is available from http://poppler.freedesktop.org/.
178 Handles core PGP functions and is required by the PGP/Inline
179 and PGP/MIME plugins.
180 Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
183 Handles inline PGP signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
184 decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
185 own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
188 Handles PGP/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can
189 decrypt mails, verify signatures or sign and encrypt your
190 own mails. Uses GnuPG/GPGME, ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/.
193 Provides Python scripting access to Claws Mail functions. A testing
194 console is also featured. Scripts can be saved to specific folders
195 for automatic loading on startup or being available as new menu items
196 under the '/Tools/Python scripts' menu.
197 Python is available from http://python.org/.
200 Creates mailboxes where newsfeeds in RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 or Atom format
201 can be added. Each newsfeed will create a folder with the appropriate
202 entries, fetched from the web. You can read them, and delete or keep
206 Handles S/MIME signed and/or encrypted mails. You can decrypt mails,
207 verify signatures or sign and encrypt your own mails.
210 Scans incoming mail received from a POP, IMAP or LOCAL account using
211 SpamAssassin. It can optionally delete mail identified as spam or save
212 it to a designated folder.
213 SpamAssassin is available from http://spamassassin.apache.org/.
216 Reports spam messages to online spam harvesting sites. Sites suported
217 are http://www.signal-spam.fr/ and http://www.spamcop.net/. The Debian
218 mailing list spam nomination system is also supported.
221 Decodes attachments with 'application/ms-tnef' MIME type (also known
222 as "winmail.dat" files) in Claws Mail, using the ytnef library.
223 Decoded parts can be saved to files.
224 The ytnef library is available from http://ytnef.sourceforge.net/.
227 Displays vCalendar messages. Only the meeting subset of the vCalendar
228 format is currently supported, which includes planning, sendding and
229 receiving invitations and answering them. Public calendar (WebCal)
230 subscriptions, free/busy information export/import and reminding of
231 events is also supported.
234 Additonal plugins can be found here:
235 http://www.claws-mail.org/plugins.php
240 The "actions" feature is a convenient way for the user to launch external
241 commands to process a complete message file including headers and body or
242 just one of its parts. It allows also the use of an external command to
243 filter the whole text or just a selected part in the message window or in
244 the compose window. This is a generic tool that allows to do any uncommon
245 actions on the messages, and thus extends the possibilities of Claws Mail.
246 For example, Claws Mail does not include the rot13 cyphering algorithm
247 popular in some newsgroups. It does not support uuencoded messages. As
248 all these features can be handled by external programs, the actions
249 provide a convenient way to use them from the menu bar.
254 To create a new action, go to Configuration -> Actions.... The "Action
255 Creation" dialog offers to enter the Menu name that will trigger the
256 command. The created menu will be found in the Tools -> Actions submenu.
257 By inserting a slash / in the menu name, you create a submenu.
259 The command is entered in the Command line entry. Note that Claws Mail
260 stores every single email in a separate file. This allows to use the
261 following syntax for the command:
263 * %f denotes the file name of the selected message. If you selected more
264 than one, then the command will be launched for each message with
265 the appropriate file name
266 * %F denotes the list of the file names of the selected message. If only
267 one message is selected, this amounts to %f, but if more messages
268 are selected, then the command will be launched only once with the
269 list of the file names. (You can use both %f and %F in one command:
270 then the command will be launched for each selected message with
271 the name of this message and with the list of all selected
272 messages. I did not find a practical example for this.)
273 * %p denotes the current selected message part of a multipart message.
274 The part is decoded accordingly. If the message is not a multipart
275 message, it denotes the message body.
276 * Prepending >: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
277 input a text that you will enter in a dialog window.
278 * Prepending *: this will allow you to send to the command's standard
279 input a text that you will enter in a dialog window. But in
280 contrast to prepending >, the entered text is hidden (useful when
282 * Appending an ampersand &: this will run the command asynchronously.
283 That means "fire and forget". Claws Mail won't wait for the
284 command to finish, nor will it catch its output or its error
286 * Prepending the vertical bar | (pipe-in): this will send the current
287 displayed text or the current selected text from the message view
288 or the compose window to the command standard input. The command
289 will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
290 * Appending the vertical bar | (pipe-out): this will replace the current
291 displayed text or the current selected text from the message window
292 or the compose window by the command standard output. The command
293 will silently fail if more than one message is selected.
295 Note: It is not possible to use actions containing %f, %F or %p from the
298 When a command is run, and unless it is run asynchronously, Claws Mail
299 will be insensitive to any interaction and it will wait for the command to
300 finish. If the command takes too long (5 seconds), it will popup a dialog
301 window allowing to stop it. This dialog will also be displayed as soon as
302 the command has some output: error messages or even its standard output
303 when the command is not a "pipe-out" command. When multiple commands are
304 being run, they are run in parallel and each command output is separated
305 from the outputs of the others.
310 Here are some examples that are listed in the same syntax as used for
311 storing the actions list. You can copy and past the definition in your
312 ~/.claws-mail/actionsrc file (exit Claws Mail before). The syntax
313 is very simple: one line per action, each action contains the menu name
314 and the command line separated by a colon and a space ": "
316 Purpose: rot13 cyphering
317 Definition: Rot13: |tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M|
318 Details: This will apply the rot13 cyphering algorithm to the
319 (selected) text in the message/compose view.
321 Purpose: Decoding uuencoded messages
322 Definition: UUdeview: xdeview %F&
323 Details: xdeview comes with uudeview. If an encoded file is split in
324 multiple messages, just select them all and run the command.
326 Purpose: Display uuencoded image
327 Definition: Display uuencoded: uudec %f&
328 Details: Displays uuencoded files. The uudec[1] script can be found in
329 the 'tools' directory of the distribution package.
331 Purpose: Alter messages
332 Definition: Edit message: gvim -f %F
333 Details: Allows editing of any received message. Can be used to remove
334 unneeded message parts, etc.
336 Purpose: Pretty format
337 Definition: Par: |par 72Tbgjqw74bEe B=._A_a 72bg|
338 Details: par is a utility that can pretty format any text. It does a
339 very good job in indenting quoted messages, and justifying
340 text. Used when composing a message
343 Definition: Part/Dillo: dillo %p&
344 Details: Browse the selected message part in Dillo.
347 [1] The uudec script can be found in the 'tools' directory of the
348 distribution package. It needs uudecode and ImageMagick's display. The
349 latter can be replaced by any image viewer that can get input from
350 standard input. The script could also be modified to use temporary files
351 instead of standard input.
356 Claws has support for different icon sets. Several icon sets can be
357 downloaded from http://www.claws-mail.org/themes.php
358 You will need to create a directory called 'themes' in your config
359 directory, unpack them into this directory, and then use the interface
360 to select them, /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Themes
362 This interface can also be used to install new themes.
365 5. Quick Search with extended search
366 ------------------------------------
367 Quick Search, with its powerful Extended search function,
368 enables searching through folder's messages.
370 Extended Search allows one to define criteria that messages must
371 have in order to match and be displayed in the summary view pane.
372 Search types titled From, Subject and To are self explanatory.
373 Search type extended allows one to use Claws Mail's powerful
374 filtering engine to select messages. Examples:
375 from regexpcase "foo"
376 subject regexp "Bug" & to regexp "claws-mail"
378 Additionally, it is possible to use simpler yet equally
379 powerfull patterns for message selections. Mutt users will
380 immediately recognise most of the available patterns:
382 Pattern Parameter Selects
383 ----------------------------------------------------
385 ag # messages whose age is greater than #
386 al # messages whose age is lower than #
387 b S messages which contain S in the message body
388 B S messages which contain S in the whole message
389 c S messages carbon-copied to S
390 C S message is either to: or cc: to S
392 e S messages which contain S in the Sender field
393 E S true if execute "S" succeeds
394 f S messages originating from user S
396 h S messages which contain header S
397 i S messages which contain S in Message-Id header
398 I S messages which contain S in inreplyto header
399 k # messages which are marked with color #
401 n S messages which are in newsgroup S
404 r messages which have been replied to
406 s S messages which contain S in subject
407 se # messages whose score is equal to #
408 sg # messages whose score is greater than #
409 sl # messages whose score is lower than #
410 Se # messages whose size is equal to #
411 Sg # messages whose size is greater than #
412 Ss # messages whose size is smaller than #
413 t S messages which have been sent to S
414 tg S messages with tags containing S
415 tagged messages which are tagged
418 x S messages which contain S in References header
419 x "cmd args" messages returning 0 when passed to command
421 y S messages which contain S in X-Label header
423 & logical AND operator
424 | logical OR operator
425 ! or ~ logical NOT operator
426 % case sensitive search
428 all filtering expressions are allowed
431 S means regexp string
433 It is possible to use logical operators AND (&), OR (|) and
434 NOT (! or ~). Case sensitive search is achieved with %.
438 f "john beavis" messages from john beavis
439 %f "John Beavis" messages from John Beavis (case sensitive)
440 ~s foo messages which do not have foo in the subject
441 f foo & ~s bar messages from foo that do not have bar in thesubject
447 /Configuration/Preferences/Customize Toolbars lets you define the
448 toolbar you want. The configuration dialog enables you to set an icon,
449 an appropriate text, and map an action to it. Actions to choose
450 from are predefined. You can also have your "Claws Mail Actions"
451 (refer to "Actions" above) on your toolbar.
454 * Configuration->Actions
455 - add an entry "Dillo: dillo %p&"
456 * Configuration->Custom toolbar
457 - select Claws Mail Actions Feature
458 - select "Dillo: dillo %p&" from drop down list
459 - choose an icon and click ok
463 7. Partial downloading of POP3 mails
464 ------------------------------------
465 Messages over the configured size limit, (/[Account preferences]/
466 Receive/Message size limit), will be partially retrieved. These
467 messages will have a Notice View displayed (above the Message View),
468 informing of the partially retrieved state and the total size of the
469 message. The Notice View will also contain two buttons, 'Mark for
470 download' and 'Mark for deletion'. If the user clicks 'Mark for
471 download', the message will be downloaded in full at the next message
472 retrieval, (and the partial one deleted); if the user checks 'Mark for
473 deletion' it will be removed from the server after the normal delay
474 as specified in the POP3 account's 'Receive' preferences.
475 If a user moves a partially retrieved message to the Trash folder
476 it will be deleted on the server at the next retrieval after the
477 Trash folder has been emptied.
483 It is recommended that you use Clawsker to edit these options,
484 http://www.claws-mail.org/clawsker.php
486 addressbook_use_editaddress_dialog (default: 1)
487 Use a separate dialogue to edit a person's details. '0'
488 will use a form embedded in the addressbook's main window.
491 bold_unread (default: 1)
492 show unread messages using bold font in summary view
495 cache_max_mem_usage (default: 4096)
496 the maximum kB of memory Claws Mail should use. It will try
497 to keep the memory usage below this value, but it will always
498 use the assigned amount of memory for speed gain.
500 cache_min_keep_time (default: 15)
501 the minimum time in minutes Claws Mail will keep the folder
502 cache in memory. If a cache is more recent than this time it
503 will not be freed even if the memory usage is above the
504 maximum. You should probably set this value higher than your
505 mail check interval. Otherwise the cache will always be freed
506 between checks even if the folder is accessed on every check,
507 which will cause much disk IO.
509 compose_no_markup (default: 0)
510 prevent italic and bold text in the Compose dialog account
512 0: normal (markup) 1: no markup
514 diff_added_color (default: #008b8b)
515 diff_deleted_color (default: #6a5acd)
516 diff_hunk_color (default: #a52a2a)
517 Colors to use when displaying attachments in unified diff
520 emphasis_color (default: #0000CF)
521 The colour used for the X-Mailer line when its value is
524 enable_hscrollbar (default: 1)
525 enable horizontal scroll bar in summary view
528 enable_swap_from (default: 0)
529 display sender's email address in To column in Sent folder
530 instead of recipient's
533 folderview_vscrollbar_policy (default: 0)
534 specify the policy of vertical scroll bar of folder view
535 0: always 1: automatic 2: never
537 hover_timeout (default: 500)
538 time in milliseconds that will cause a folder tree to expand
539 during drag n drop when the mouse cover is held over it
541 live_dangerously (default: 0)
542 Don't ask for confirmation before definitive deletion of
546 log_error_color (default: #af0000)
547 log_in_color (default: #000000)
548 log_msg_color (default: #00af00)
549 log_out_color (default: #0000ef)
550 log_warn_color (default: #af0000)
551 log_status_ok_color (default: #00af00)
552 log_status_nok_color (default: #0000af)
553 log_status_skip_color (default: #aa00aa)
554 The colours used in the Network Log window.
556 msgview_date_format (default: 0)
557 Use the same user-defined date format in the Message View as
558 is used in the Message List.
561 outgoing_fallback_to_ascii (default: 1)
562 The outgoing encoding of a message will use 7bit US-ASCII
563 whenever it is suitable for the message content, ignoring
564 the "Outgoing encoding" option unless it is necessary.
565 Turning this option off forces the user-defined encoding to
566 be used, regardless of message content.
569 primary_paste_unselects (default: 0)
570 Causes the primary buffer to be cleared and the insertion
571 point to be repositioned when the middle mouse button is used
575 respect_flowed_format (default: 0)
576 Respect format=flowed on text/plain message parts. This will
577 cause some mails to have long lines, but will fix some URLs
578 that would otherwise be wrapped.
581 save_parts_readwrite (default: 0)
582 Saves temporary files when opening attachment with write bit
586 show_compose_margin (default: 0)
587 Adds margins to the message text area in the Compose window.
590 show_inline_attachments (default: 1)

599 Update stepping in progress bars.
601 stripes_color_offset (default: 4000)
602 Specify the value to use when creating alternately coloured
603 lines in GtkTreeView components. The smaller the value, the
604 less visible the difference in the alternating colours of the

619 two_line_vertical (default: 1)
620 Spread message list information over two lines when using the
624 unsafe_ssl_certs (default: 0)
625 Allows Claws to remember multiple SSL certificates for a
629 use_networkmanager (default: 1)
630 Use NetworkManager to switch offline automatically.
633 use_stripes_everywhere (default: 1)
634 Enable alternately coloured lines in GtkTreeView components.
637 use_stripes_in_summaries (default: 1)
638 Enable alternately coloured lines in the main window
639 GtkTreeView components, (Folder List and Message List). The
640 only useful way to use this option is to set it to 0 when
641 use_stripes_everywhere is set to 1.
644 utf8_instead_of_locale_for_broken_mail (default: 0)
645 Use UTF-8 encoding for broken mails instead of current
649 warn_dnd (default: 1)

749 10. How to contribute
750 ---------------------
752 You are encourged to send patches via the Claws Mail bugzilla at
753 http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
754 But please first read the patch guidelines here:
755 http://www.claws-mail.org/devel.php
757 If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan
758 <paul@claws-mail.org> or consider posting to the
759 Claws Mail-users mailing list.
760 http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php
762 Bugs can be reported with Claws' bugzilla at:
763 http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
765 Of course, you can also post to the Claws Mail-users mailing list.
767 Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
768 don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
769 a long time to stabilise, send a mail to Paul Mangan
770 <paul@claws-mail.org>. We can probably arrange access to the
771 Claws Mail Git repository.
775 11. How to request features
776 ---------------------------
778 Ask around in Claws Mail-users ML. Note that some developers may
779 have already thought about your feature and may, perhaps, be implementing
780 it, or the feature was already discussed and rejected for whatever reason.
781 You might want to go ahead and hack a patch for it. (That would be very
782 cool!) Another possibility is to add a request to our bugzilla, (severity:
784 http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
787 12. Installing Claws Mail from Git
788 --------------------------------------
793 To download the latest Git, cd to the directory where you wish to download
794 to and type the following information:
796 git clone http://git.claws-mail.org/readonly/claws.git
798 Later, when you want to update your local repository, you'll just have to
799 go back to the 'claws' directory, and type:
806 To compile and install use the following commands:
808 ./autogen.sh [add configure options as required]
810 make install [as root]
812 You will need a full set of development tools installed to be able to run
813 autogen.sh. See also ac/README.
