Its official manual traces the project to April 2001, when it began as Sylpheed-Claws, a development test bed for Sylpheed features, before becoming an independent project and taking the Claws Mail name in November 2006. ### Historique du projet The official manual says Sylpheed-Claws was created so new mail-client features could be tested without compromising Sylpheed stability, with developers regularly synchronizing with Hiroyuki Yamamoto's Sylpheed codebase. The projects later diverged: work on GTK2 started in early 2003, the first GTK2-based Sylpheed-Claws release arrived in March 2005, and the project became Claws Mail in 2006. Claws Mail continued to emphasize a traditional Unix desktop mail-client model: multiple accounts and mailboxes, POP3, IMAP, local mbox, SSL, authentication methods, filtering, searching, import/export, GnuPG, plugins, configurable toolbars, per-folder preferences, and safeguards against data loss. ### Historique d'adoption The package has broad distribution coverage across Unix-like and Windows package ecosystems. The batch metadata lists Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, Alpine, Nix, MacPorts, Scoop, and WinGet package names, which reflects its long life as a cross-platform desktop utility rather than a single-distro niche app. The official news page for 4.4.0 on 2026-03-09 calls that release the project's 25-year milestone, showing continued upstream maintenance into the mid-2020s. ### Modes d'utilisation Claws Mail is used as a graphical mail and news reader for users who want a fast, configurable client without a full personal-information-manager stack. Official FAQ entries document MH mail storage, local Unix mailbox handling, POP3, IMAP, SMTP-only accounts, GPG support, filtering, plugins, address completion, and an explicit no-HTML-message-composition stance. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent For package maintainers, Claws Mail is interesting because it is a mature GTK desktop application with many optional integrations: TLS, libetpan, GPG, spam filtering, HTML rendering plugins, notification plugins, translations, manuals, and platform-specific packaging. It is also a useful example of an old-school GUI mail client that remains packageable across Unix package managers and Windows package catalogs. ### Chronologie - 2001: Sylpheed-Claws begins in April as a Sylpheed feature test bed. - 2003: GTK2 work begins for Sylpheed and Sylpheed-Claws. - 2005: First GTK2-based Sylpheed-Claws release appears in March. - 2006: The project changes its name to Claws Mail in November. - 2026: Claws Mail 4.4.0 release notes mark 25 years of the project. ### Related projects - Sylpheed is the direct ancestor and early upstream counterpart named in the Claws Mail manual. - The official manual positions Claws Mail beside other mail clients such as Evolution and Outlook by saying it is not a full personal information manager. - Plugins and related tools include GnuPG support, Bogofilter, SpamAssassin, mailMBOX, RSSyl, notification plugins, and HTML display plugins documented by the manual, FAQ, and release notes. ### Sources - - - ## Notes de sécurité Aucun manifest local de gestion des secrets correspondant n'a été trouvé pour claws-mail.
