Sylpheed is an e-mail client (& news reader) based on +GTK+, running on the X Window System, and aiming for +<UL> +<LI>Quick response</LI> +<LI>Graceful, and sophisticated interface</LI> +<LI>Easy configuration, intuitive operation</LI> +<LI>Abundant features</LI> +</UL> +<H2><A NAME="ss1.3">1.3 Q03 Where can I get Sylpheed?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. You can download it from <CODE> +<A HREF="http://sylpheed.good-day.net">sylpheed.good-day.net</A></CODE> +There are links to download the tarball sources, and +also links to sites where you can download RPM's (for +Redhat and Mandrake), DEB packages for Debian, and +installations for Solaris and FreeBSD. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.4">1.4 Q04 Who writes Sylpheed?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Hiroyuki Yamamoto (<CODE>hiro-y@kcn.ne.jp</CODE>) +<H2><A NAME="ss1.5">1.5 Q05 What does the name Sylpheed mean?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. It means 'light weight', like air. This comes from the +name of the wind spirits, the Sylphs. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.6">1.6 Q06 How does Sylpheed store mails?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Mails are stored in the MH mailfile format as used by MH +and EMH. Maildir and mbox format are not (yet) +supported, although it is possible to import an mbox +file into a Sylpheed mailbox. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.7">1.7 Q07 Why does the auto collection of mail not work?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Autocollection works since version 0.5.1. If you need it +or want it, you should upgrade. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.8">1.8 Q08 Does Sylpheed have mail filtering?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes. You can find it in Configuration > filtering tab. +<P>Please note that filtering is not yet implemented for IMAP accounts. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.9">1.9 Q09 Can Sylpheed handle IMAP mail?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes. As of version 0.4.99 IMAP is supported. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.10">1.10 Q10 Can Sylpheed handle local unix mailboxes?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.11">1.11 Q11 Can Sylpheed handle IPv6?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes, IPv6 is fully supported in Sylpheed. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.12">1.12 Q12 Does Sylpheed support encryption like GPG?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes. GPG is implemented and works fine. For activating it in Sylpheed, see Q14 in the Installation section. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.13">1.13 Q13 How does Sylpheed check for MIME types?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Sylpheed uses the Mutt type of mime checking. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.14">1.14 Q14 Does Sylpheed allow me to write HTML styled messages?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. No. A discussion has gone around over this topic, and +the outcome was that HTML mail is not wanted. If you +really need to send HTML, you can of course attach a +webpage to an e-mail. Several patches have been made to +facilitate better HTML handling in Sylpheed. You can +find these patches at the Sylpheed Patch Page (see +further down in the document). +<H2><A NAME="ss1.15">1.15 Q15 Does Sylpheed have name completion in the address fields?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes. When you search for a name that starts with "<CODE>don</CODE>", +type "<CODE>don</CODE>" (without the quotes) and press the TAB key. +This will show you the correct name (when only one "don" +exists in your addressbook. Otherwise a dropdown list +appears, which allows you to select the name you want. +E.g. Donald Duck, Don Johnson. But also e-mail addresses +starting with "<CODE>don</CODE>" will appear in the list (like +"<CODE>don.giovanni@maffia.org</CODE>"). +<H2><A NAME="ss1.16">1.16 Q16 Fine, but when I hit the TAB key I get an error message.</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. When you want to use name completion, make sure that +there are names in your address book. If there are no +names, even Sylpheed has a hard time completing +something. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.17">1.17 Q17 Why is Sylpheed so fast?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. That's what it is designed for! +<H2><A NAME="ss1.18">1.18 Q18 Where can I get the current patches for Sylpheed?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. The Sylpheed Patch homepage: +<CODE> +<A HREF="http://www.teledix.net/sylpheed/">The sylpheed patch homepage</A></CODE> +(Also see section on Installation on how to install a +patch) +<H2><A NAME="ss1.19">1.19 Q19 How can I send in patches, report bugs, talk about Sylpheed with others?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. To talk to others, you should join the Sylpheed mailing +list at <CODE>http://sylpheed.good-day.net</CODE>. Note that there is +a japanese and an english list, so pick the right one! +If you have made a patch that you want the world to know +of, please get in touch with the manager of the Sylpheed +Patch homepage, at <CODE>sylpheed@thewildbeast.co.uk</CODE> +<H2><A NAME="ss1.20">1.20 Q20 When I send mail, the Content-Type header says the mail is in US-ASCII, even when I specified ISO-8859-1?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. If ISO-8859-1 characters (>= 0x80) are not used in the +message body, Sylpheed will automatically set the +charset value in the Content-Type header as US-ASCII. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.21">1.21 Q21 Why does it look like word wrap is not working?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Word wrapping is a bit peculiar perhaps. You can type +lines as long as you like. By the time you send or queue +a mail with long lines, Sylpheed will first wrap the +lines to the line length you set up, and then the mail +is queued. This is more convenient than you think. Once +a line is wrapped (hard line breaks are inserted in the +text) and you add something in a line there, the next +line will move to a separate new line, leaving one or +two words from the previous line "hanging there" alone. +E.g. +<PRE> + This is a long line + is wrapped. +</PRE> +<P>Now you add one word in the first line: +<PRE> + This is a very long line + that + is wrapped +</PRE> +<P>This would cause you a lot of manual reformatting to get +a presentable mail again. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.22">1.22 Q22 Where can I find the latest FAQ on Sylpheed?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Go to +<A HREF="http://sylpheeddoc.sf.net">http://sylpheeddoc.sf.net</A> and check out the FAQ and manual from the sylpheeddoc project. Both documents are available in multiple languages there and usually contain the latest updates. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.23">1.23 Q23 Can I import a mbox into Sylpheed's MH mailfolders?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes, just create/select the folder you want your +mails in, and select "Import mbox file" in the File +menu. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.24">1.24 Q24 Can I use procmail to sort my mails with the MH mail handling?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes. Just make sure that you add /. to the end of a rule so procmail knows you are filtering into an MH mail folder. Example: +<P><CODE>0:</CODE> +<P><CODE>* ^Subject:.*sylpheed</CODE> +<P><CODE> sylpheedmail/.</CODE> +<P>Check man procmail for details. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.25">1.25 Q25 When I upgrade Sylpheed, are there things I should be aware of?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes! +<P>Upgrade to 0.4.50: you should reconfigure your newsgroup settings +<P>Upgrade to 0.4.63: you should set the URL string colors from the Configuration menu. +<P>Upgrade to 0.4.65: some menu items have been moved +<P>Upgrade to 0.7.3: many keybindings have changed +<H2><A NAME="ss1.26">1.26 Q26 How can I quickly update the views in Sylpheed?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Just press Alt-U or select "update" from the summary menu. +<H2><A NAME="ss1.27">1.27 Q27 Why can't I use gvim as external editor?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. If one wishes to use gvim as an external editor it's necessary to start it with the no-fork option -f, i.e. in the configuration dialog box you need to enter "gvim -f %s". If not the editor forks and open up a separate file and when one quits the editor the changes are lost and don't show up in the composer window. +<P>(Thanks, Ed Collins!) +<HR> +<A HREF="sylpheed-faq-2.html">Next</A> +Previous +<A HREF="sylpheed-faq.html#toc1">Contents</A> +</BODY> +</HTML> diff --git a/faq/en/sylpheed-faq-2.html b/faq/en/sylpheed-faq-2.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..73b386cc --- /dev/null +++ b/faq/en/sylpheed-faq-2.html @@ -0,0 +1,144 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> +<HTML> +<HEAD> + <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="SGML-Tools 1.0.9"> + <TITLE>Sylpheed FAQ: Sylpheed FAQ - Installation and Configuration</TITLE> + <LINK HREF="sylpheed-faq-3.html" REL=next> + <LINK HREF="sylpheed-faq-1.html" REL=previous> + <LINK HREF="sylpheed-faq.html#toc2" REL=contents> +</HEAD> +<BODY> +<A HREF="sylpheed-faq-3.html">Next</A> +<A HREF="sylpheed-faq-1.html">Previous</A> +<A HREF="sylpheed-faq.html#toc2">Contents</A> +<HR> +<H2><A NAME="s2">2. Sylpheed FAQ - Installation and Configuration</A></H2> + +<H2><A NAME="ss2.1">2.1 Q01 What does it take to compile Sylpheed?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. 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.

You have to set some environment variables such as +<CODE>LANG,LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES</CODE> to your local language. +Usually <CODE>LANG</CODE> (or <CODE>LC_ALL</CODE>) is sufficient. +<H2><A NAME="ss3.2">3.2 Q02 I don't like the default font. Can I change that?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Yes. In Configuration>common preferences under the +"Display" tab. +<H2><A NAME="ss3.3">3.3 Q03 There are too many columns in the message list!!</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. In Configuration>common preferences under the +"Display" tab you can press the button "Set display +item of summary". That pops up a screen with all the +options you can show or leave out of the message +list. +<H2><A NAME="ss3.4">3.4 Q04 Can I use a different editor to write my mails?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. You can. In Configuration>common preferences under +the "Other" tab you can define your editor of choice. +Remember, if you want to use a command line editor +like vi or emacs, to write the name of the shell +(term, term, rxvt) with the -e parameter in front of +the editor. E.g.: <CODE>rxvt -e vi %s</CODE> +<H2><A NAME="ss3.5">3.5 Q05 How to change the font size in the Sylpheed interface?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. You can set the GTK+ font by <CODE>~/.gtkrc</CODE>, or +<CODE>~/.gtkrc.mine</CODE>, +(which is included by <CODE>~/.gtkrc</CODE>). +For example: +<CODE>style "default" +{ +font = +"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 +" +} +widget_class "*" style "default"</CODE> +<H2><A NAME="ss3.6">3.6 Q06 Sylpheed saves my outgoing mail (in Outbox). Can I make it stop doing that?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. In Configuration>common preferences there's a +checkbox "Save sent message to outbox". Uncheck it, +and it's solved. +<H2><A NAME="ss3.7">3.7 Q07 How can I change the key-bindings (hot-keys) in Sylpheed?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. That is very simple. Suppose you want to assign a +shortcut key to a function, e.g. sending all mail +out should start when you press Ctrl-Y. Click the +Message' menu and move the mouse over "Send all +messages". Now you press Ctrl-Y. Immediately the menu +text is updated and the function is in place. Please +note that a previous function that Ctrl-Y was +assigned to, will no longer have a shortcut key. If +you want to remove the key binding, do the same +thing, but press the "delete" key on the menu-item. +Then the key binding is removed. +<H2><A NAME="ss3.8">3.8 Q08 Can I close windows without the mouse?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. Of course!! Not all windows, but by pressing ESCape, +you can close the addressbook, the window of viewing +a mail-source (message>view source), the window of +viewing the headers, and several others. Just give +it a try and you will find all of them. +<H2><A NAME="ss3.9">3.9 Q09 Can I change the way the date is displayed in the message summary?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. As of 0.4.65 you can. The options are: +%y = year in numbers %m = month in number +%d = day in numbers %c = date/time for locale +%A = full weekday name %a = short month name +%B = full month name %b = short month name +%H = hours in 24-clock %I = hours in 12-clock +For more information go to the configuration menu, +select Common preferences / Display and move the +mouse cursor over the input box for the date display +format. +<H2><A NAME="ss3.10">3.10 Q10 Why can't I see the compface pictures?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. You need to enable displaying of the header pane in the +general preferences +<H2><A NAME="ss3.11">3.11 Q11 I still can't see the pictures. Why not?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A. You may not have compiled in Compface support. See Q11 +in the Installation/Configuration section. +<H2><A NAME="ss3.12">3.12 Q12 Why does the URL Launcher not launch my webbrowser?</A> +</H2> + +<P>A.
