Sylpheed-Gtk2 is a software that ports the features of Sylpheed email client to the Gtk+2 toolkit. Its user interface is designed to integrate easily with various desktop environments, making it an ideal email client for Linux and UNIX-based systems.
Sylpheed-Gtk2 provides intuitive operation that is similar to other mailers, with simple configuration and full support for features required for a mailer. It offers full support for Japanese and i18n, as well as flexible interaction with external commands. This software is stable, and data is not lost in the event of a crash.
The interface of Sylpheed-Gtk2 is designed to emulate other Emacs-based mailers and allow users to manage almost all commands with the keyboard. This is particularly useful in a situation where a user is migrating from a different mailer. The software has a similar look to other mailers like Outlook Express, Becky! and Datula, making it easy to get started.
With Sylpheed-Gtk2, messages are managed using the MH format, and users can use it together with other mailers based on the same format. It reduces the possibility of losing mails on failures since one file corresponds to one mail. Users can import or export mbox format messages and process them with external programs like fetchmail or/and procmail.
