dhry, iscribe is for 1 pop mail only for your information. To have multiple pop account, you have to buy inscribe

Awesome. This simply kicks Thunderbird into touch. And you can make it portable really easily.

i'm currently a thunderbird user, but I'm really looking for something just a bit more... well..err... interesting. Thunderbird is ok, but starting to bug me with it's speed and need for addons. So I'm looking.. Does sylpheed really look the screenshot, because it's fugly. Looks like an app that was created 10+ years ago. Surely there's a mail client out there that is fast, functionality, and actually enjoyable to use and pleasing on the eye (doesn't need to be all eye-candy, just not fugly!)

This app is meant to be light, not beautiful, hence a 5/5. It works wonderful, even on dial-up connections with an older computer with 512 mb ram. Perfect for just email and nothing else.

Switched from tbird to popeeper to this & couldn't be happier. Portable by simply renaming sample-sylpheed.ini. to sylpheed.ini. Theming is sooo easy. Install gtk+runtime environment with the theme selector. Copy it's themes from it's share folder to syplheed's same shared folder. Use selector in gtk and reopen sylpheed to see change. Pop peeper works great but no spam filter, no encryption, and no easy way to keep track of anything sent from it without doing a manual search. You will have to edit & update your mail server settings & recreate acct in sylpheed if necessary. Gmail can now handle other accts like hotmail and sylpheed only needs the one. Impressive

The fastest and feature packed e-mail I have used. Supports IMAP too. 5 stars for being everything, and open source! @anomoly: Thank you for letting know how to change the theme. I was scouring all over the web trying to figure how to get it done.

Works excellent. OpenSSL is old (0.9.8.5 ?); http://www.shininglightp...Win32OpenSSL-0_9_8k.exe. GTK runtime & themes: http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/index.php/Downloads

271 does not work at all for me. Why is ssl at 0985?

This was such a breath of fresh air after trying some of the other email clients and I think I'll continue to use it ... hope it keeps up with the times.

In this latest awesome version I tried to change the theme and it did not work for some reason. So I deleted all but the MS-Windows folder theme and copied the theme I chose in gtk (metal) (just the root file gtkrc) to the ms-windows one and it worked perfect. The only gripe is the total tab which is locked to the border it sits next to. If you pull the border too close to the folder tab, the total tab disappears. minor Using it in portable mode.

I still can't drag the total column. It stays stuck to the view pane and will disappear if the view pane is too close to the accts column. BTW, in portable mode DO NOT simply overwrite the theme files. If you do and try to use it in an envirinment without gtk, it may not display a legible font at all.

Excellent Easy to use .Very fast set up. Not a bunch of useless buttons . None.I wish the address book would have been popped up when " to" clicked on new message window I have been searching the net for an e mail program that I would like. Good to learn that Sylpheed was there. Thank you .

Beta5 came out the ninth

I've been using the latest devs and noticed that it occasionally will use up to 400mb of memory for some reason. Sitting idle as it does most of the time it is using quite a bit atm around 80mb. If your looking for something super light weight checkout komamail. This has encryption which koma doesn't but you have to have gpg4win installed and running for that even to work. Don't forget to down bsfilterw.exe (or other) if you are running it in portable mode. I did not realize the exe was even missing til just now and thought it was working. Beta 5 review

No-nonsense, elegant, customizable, works great with pop3/imap, A BLESSED RELIEF from the stupidity of Windows Mail and other insufferable, cutsey programs. Also the aesthetics are great -- elegant, clean, neat. In my use, I've come across none. I used Outlook Express for years. Once I finally had to give up XP, naturally I had to find a replacement. HATED (!!!) Windows Live Mail. So I tried Thunderbird, which would have been okay except that there's no Outbox -- stuff gets sent immediately, with no "send later" option -- which is a fatal flaw for me. All the other programs had one fatal flaw or another. Finally tried Sylpheed, which fixed everything. VERY grateful for the program. Updated on Feb 15, 2011

This is very easy to use, and is the first email client that actually recognized my gmail account. Can't seem to get hotmail to work. Good software.

This is a stupid program. It doesn't let you select language :(
