As to Tear :
Read the thread "How to install Tear" in the Applications forum.

This is how I did it :
Install rootsh with the application manager.
EDIT : Try to download and install Tear from garage.maemo.org (maemo has a link).
The appl. man. will give a message of missing packag(es),
click for the detailed description and write down what is missing.
If you do not find it with the appl. man., then :
Quit the appl.man.
Start Xterm.
Write "sudo gainroot" (if rootsh is installed this gives you root privilegies).
Write "apt-get update".
Write "apt-get install xxx" where xxx is a missing package, repeat . .
If you get an error that something is missing, install that first.

And don't forget Tear-bookmarks by Bongo.
Post #334 in the Tear thread tells how to edit them.

hey guys just got my n810 int he mail today after a few hours of playing around i tried to set up the default mail client for my gmail account but it would'nt work. Then i came across claws mail but when i tried to installed it said i was missing a lot of library files. I have read that the default mail client gives you notifications each time you get a mail so if someone can give me instructions on how to set it up for gmail that would be nice. If not then could someone give me the directions to install claws mail?

any help would be great!

You need to apply updates before installing Claws Mail.

Add qole's repo.
Install Tear.
You can install tear bookmarks from extras, bongo's manager is included in the latest release I think.

hey man, here is the deal. go to this website
http://www.gronmayer.com/it/
select all repositories and install them.
it might take a while. when everything is updated, in the application manager click tools, application catalogue, find the 'extras devel' repository, click edit and disable.

by doing this you will have lots and lots of programs listed in the application manager to install. tear should be there. if you ever need to install anything from extras devel, such as tear bookmarks, you can enable it for the install and then disable it again. disabling it us pretty important, so you don't end up with unstable trial versions of software running on your it.
