You can find the Claws version (the cutting edge, experimental version of Sylpheed) sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net.<p> +Another option, if you do not want to work with an experimental version of Sylpheed, is Procmail. Procmail is a powerful mail filtering program that is triggered from the Mail Transport Agent (i.e. Sendmail, Postfix, Qmail). Procmail is called by default from these programs after receiving e-mail.<p> +The trick to procmail is to tell it that mail has to be filtered into MH mail folders. This is not difficult though.<p> +Normally procmail moves mail into MBOX format, this is one large file containing all mails in a folder. MH uses separate files for each e-mail. All you need to do is point the destination of a procmail rule to <destination folder>/. It is the "slash dot" that does the trick. </sect> |
