+ <answer>
+ <para>Yes, Sylpheed 3.1 adds support for this often requested feature. The format of the multiple instances command is as follows:</para>
+ <para><command>sylpheed --instance-id <replaceable>ID</replaceable> --configdir <replaceable>path-to-alternative-configdir</replaceable></command></para>
+ <para>Default <parameter>ID</parameter> is set to <literal>sylpheed</literal>, so you can specify any other instance
+<parameter>ID</parameter>. The <parameter>ID</parameter> is used for the name of unix domain
+socket (under UNIX), or mutex name (under Windows). <parameter>configdir</parameter> specifies the configuration directory, i.e. the location of configuration files.</para>
