https://garage.maemo.org/projects/claws-mail, then tried to install it
using "Install from file" in the Application Manager's menu. Result: a
message saying it couldn't install because it needed libsm6. I then
opened an xterm, did "apt-get install libsm6", and again tried installing.
Success!

Double tapping on a message won't open it, but selecting it with a tap and
then pressing the center button in the scroll pad on the left does. Also
helpful: the info about icons under Help, the manual and FAQ at
www.claws-mail.org, and the info in this thread (esp. about IMAP folders).

A great app, infinitely better than the default email client.
When i first tried to install claws (on N770) i had the "libsm6-problem". With this tip i retried it, but then got an error that my

hildon-libs0

ist to old. but when i try to upgrade hildon-libso apt-get says everything is up to date :-(

Any ideas where i can get ALL libs to get clwas running on a N770 (with OS2006)

I removed most of my repositories in the applicationmanager, because it alsways stopped when "refreshing".
