Claws Mail: Mail with Attitude

“Want to take full control of your email? Tired of the
limitations of Webmail, or GUI clients that are designed for users
who only get a handful of emails every day. It’s time to
bring out the heavy guns and start using Claws.

“Modern mail user agents (MUAs) tend to hide as much complexity
from the user as possible. Claws, bless its speedy little heart,
doesn’t. Claws is extremely configurable, feature-rich
through the use of plugins, and can be keyboard-driven to satisfy
users who want the speed of text-based mailers like Mutt with a
decent GUI.

“Claws is a fork of the Sylpheed mailer. Initially, Claws was
the “bleeding edge” development build of Sylpheed, but
they diverged and Claws has been going great guns ever since. Note
that Sylpheed is also actively developed and the two have quite a
bit in common, but I’d pick Claws as it seems to be leading
in features.”
