Claws Mail, (formerly known as Sylpheed-Claws), is a GTK+-based e-mail client and news client for Linux, forked from Sylpheed in April 2001. It was initially the bleeding-edge testbed for new Sylpheed features, but evolved enough to now be a completely separate program.
It is light, easy to configure, and easy to use. Claws Mail has an intuitive interface and a lot of features and flexibility.
The first release of maemo port is available on garage at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/claws-mail. This version is not completely hildonized but fullscreen is available for main windows.
I have only a 770 and this version is not tested on N800.
Yes, I encountered this problem. To create the other boxes:
1. Add a box by the menu "File | Add mailbox"
2. Choose the menu "Create new account"
3. In tab "Receive" and lineedit "Default Inbox", replace "Mailbox" in "#mh/Mailbox/inbox" by the name of your mailbox created on 1.
Claws-mail seems to be a very good mail client and it's usage is pleasant with the windows in full screen. I chose to hide the menubar on fullscreen to increase the visibility. In this case, the toolbar allows to launch the main actions.
Many themes are available on the home page on http://www.claws-mail.org/index.php
Is this better then Pan as a newsreader? The major flaw of PAN is that if you minimize it, you loose it. You have to kill then relaunch, while it seems that this is hildonized and can have its own icon on the taskbar to switch the tasks regularly.
I don't know if it's better then Pan as a newsreader. Try it.
Claws mail is partially hildonized but can toggled to fullscreen and if it is minimized, his icon appear on taskbar and the program can be restored.

It seems like it will work very well. I don't expect to be using email on the N800 too much, but when I do this might be the tool
With the size of the screen though I think any email client is going to feel cramped.
I'd like to say that the claws-mail update, 2.8.1-2, is quite impressive. I love the feature set. Thank you!
I've test both "sylpheed" and "claws" and I'm not so impressed by "claws"
While having the accounts settings on both I'm not able to send mail with "claws"
(smtp errors) the accounts need authentification.
Other flaws:
- if I set the first account while off line after switching on line I get a message about corrupted mailbox and the only way to get ride off it is to remove the directory ".claws-mail" in "/home/user"
- when composing a message the "To" field is behind the on-screen keyboard making hard to correct typing errors
So I wiil stick to "sylpheed" hoping it will not disapears to the benefit of "claws"
I'm from France and I own a N800 for 2 months (1st experience with tablet)

An option in account settings enable the authentification when the mails are sended. Check in accounts configuration dialog

I have tried to reproduce the problem but all worked correctly

You are right but no solution exists for this problem. With Sypheed, the "To" field is not behind the keyboard but it's the text field.

Sylpheed and Claws-mail are two different applications and one will not disappear for the other.
