Sylpheed is an email program based on the GTK GUI toolkit. The design and
user interface is similar to many well-known email programs from the Windows
world, such as Outlook Express.

Why another mailer? Sylpheed has a very good support of the IMAP4 protocol,
which is currently only available with a few Amiga mailers. But Sylpheed
also has other interesting features (see below).

New in this release:
--------------------

  * Update to the latest stable version of Sylpheed. The program was ported
    from scratch and some bugs were fixed that way.

  * Working remote control of Sylpheed. Sylpheed can only be started once,
    when started again, the options are passed to the running program.

  * Update to SQLite 3.9.3 in "bogofilter 1.2.5".


New in 3.0.3 r3:
----------------

  * The second release of Sylpheed 3.0.3 had problems with SSL connections.
    The program has now been linked with OpenSSL 1.0.2o and should now work
    again.
    An update for a current version of OpenSSL is planned.

  * All programs, including the tools of "bogofilter 1.2.5" and
    "compface 1.5.2", have been linked with the current libraries.

  * Spell checker updated.


New in 3.0.3 r2:
----------------

  * On some systems the first release of Sylpheed 3.0.3 crashed when starting
    the program. The error should now be solved.


New in 3.0.3:
-------------

  * New version 3.0.3 with many new features compared to the previous version
    2.6.0.

  * The program was linked with GTK+ 2.24.32. This means that drag 'n drop,
    among other things, now also works.

  * A spell check with Aspell is now integrated. A German and an English
    language catalog are included. The catalogs available for AbiWord can also
    be used.

  * Mail addresses and personal data can now be determined via LDAP. For this
    purpose, Sylpheed was linked with openldap 2.4.49.

  * Spam filter function using "bogofilter". The program "bogofilter 1.2.5" is
    included in the package and is installed automatically.
