The best email application on N800 and it's getting even better! I have used it since it was ported to N800, I hope that Claws is available after next firmware update (Chinook) because it's so good that I'm using it every day on my email at work.

Is that toolbar at the bottom new? If it is, nice touch. If it isn't, nice touch.

I just upgraded on os2006 and I get 'GTK_IS_LABEL (label) failed
Illegal instruction.

Hmm... Is it possible to move them to top of the screen?

Can you tell me how to do this? I would love to store my 15+mb of emails on the mmc, and make it the default storage directory, but I can't figure out how to. Thanks.

I like this newer version a lot. Needs some more plug-ins ported over though.
Right now it's my main email client and RSS news reader.

How can one relocate the main window toolbar back to the top of the screen -- where it used to be?

P.S. And also disable the flashing status mesages when doing mail handling... they can't be read anyway and slow down the process by increasing GUI interface overhead.

I figured out my question - just edit ~/.claws-mail/folderlist.xml

So if i understand, now imap mail can be offline ... Great ...

I'll try it.
