Sharpen your claws on this powerful and highly configurable email client.
Claws Mail [1] started in early 2001 as Sylpheed-Claws, the development version of Sylpheed [2]. Sylpheed-Claws provided a testbed for a handful of enthusiastic Sylpheed contributors and users to test patches. Because many stable and useful features were not finding their way into Sylpheed, Sylpheed-Claws evolved on its own and was later renamed Claws Mail. A small team of enthusiastic programmers continues to develop Claws Mail, which has grown into a robust, user-friendly email client.
Claws Mail is a standards-compliant, desktop-neutral email client and newsreader with a GTK+ interface [3] released under the GPL license. This lightweight mail reader is highly configurable and offers some unique and powerful customization features.
