Claws Mail
Claws Mail は Sylpheed からフォークした GUI メールクライアントです。Claws Mail FAQ によると: Claws Mail は Sylpheed と比較して多くの機能があり、より強力でありながら、同様に高速で、軽量で、安定しています。
活発に開発されており、多くのプラグインによって拡張可能で、(Thunderbird などからの) mbox 形式でのメールボックスのインポートに対応しています。ネイティブのメールボックスフォーマットは wikipedia:MH Message Handling System ですが、プラグインを使って mbox フォーマットを使うこともできます。Claws Mail は HTML メッセージを書くことができません (Keep It Simple 原則に従っているため) が、プラグインを使ってそれらを読むことはできます。
Gentoo Linux に対しては、mail-client/claws-mail パッケージによって ia64 を除くすべてのアーキテクチャに提供されています。

プラグイン
適切な USE フラグ (例えば bogofilter、spamassassin、または pdf) を設定すれば、Claws Mail といっしょにプラグインがコンパイルされます。
バージョン 3.9.1 より前は、プラグインは個別に emerge する必要がありました。
スパムフィルタリング
- Simple way: Bogofilter is a powerful Bayesian filter which doesn't need to be configured. It quickly learns from the user's spam and ham classifications in Claws Mail. It is the preferred spam filter for desktop computers. Set the
bogofilterUSE flag to compile the plugin with Claws Mail.
- Hard way: Spamassassin is a huge mail filtering system, using Bayesian filtering and external spam-definition resources. It must be extensively configured and its daemon (spamd) must be running for Claws Mail to use it. It is the preferred spam filter for mail servers. Set the
spamassassinUSE flag to compile the plugin with Claws Mail. Some information can be found in the articles Complete Virtual Mail Server and Mailfiltering Gateway.
Emerge
Create a /etc/portage/package.use/claws-mail file to activate the desired USE flags (or add them to the /etc/portage/package.use file). To set bogofilter, pgp and archive, for example:
root #echo 'mail-client/claws-mail bogofilter pgp archive' > /etc/portage/package.use/claws-mailThen emerge Claws Mail:
root #emerge --ask mail-client/claws-mail設定と使い方
- Accounts, mail filtering, models, actions, labels, etc. are set in the Configuration menu;
- main configuration is done in Configuration > Preferences…;
- plugins are (de)activated in Configuration > Plugins… and configured in Configuration > Preferences…;
- the archive plugin is run from Tools > Create Archive…;
- the user interface can be modified: lists headers in global or message views, icons, fonts;
- the address book can import and export several formats.
Clawsker
mail-client/clawsker can be installed to edit many preferences which are not in the GUI:
root #emerge --ask mail-client/clawskerThen launch it when Claws Mail is not running:
user $clawskerThe Claws Mail preferences file is ~/.claws-mail/clawsrc.
