I just wanted to jump in and say the program is working AWESOME on my N800. This is what I've wanted for SO long. I've used IMAP for years now and won't use a client unless it supports it. The default Nokia client is simply unusable.
I'm using IMAP over SSL, and I just did the symlink trick to put all my mails on the SD card. Its very cool that it supports downloading all the e-mails like IMAP is supposed to do.
I did have one question. The 'syncronise' is always greyed out for me. I've looked through all the options everywhere and I'm stumped. I can just keep downloading all the messages by tap and hold. But I was wondering if there's another easier way to do this.
Also, I had to add a mistral repository to get it installed on the N800. I really didn't want to do that but the most recent version wouldn't work withoug libaux or something like that.
Any place I could offer a donation for this great client to keep the development work going?
Thanks for the kind words
To be able to synchronise automatically all folders you're interested in, you have to tap and hold on these folders, and in the Properties, near the end of the page, check "Synchronise for offline use". The next version will have a faster synchronisation, by the way
Concerning donations, if you want to make one, that's really nice! You can do it so from http://www.claws-mail.org/sponsors.php - you can either choose Paypal, or if you prefer, you can get a mug or shirt from the Cafepress store
Ooops! Now its' done. But the first time I tapped and hold, I get the window which says that it is downloading the group list. Then it seemed to lock. Afterwards, All the mail functionality worked, but if I try to subscribe a group, the top-level window locks and I have to (sort-of) kill it (since it isn't possible to open the xterm and kill, because of the top-level window, I keep the "back" button pressed as per closing the main program, then wait for the system to prompt because the program is not responding)

The newsgroups subscription dialog is not threaded, so it looks like everything hangs, but in reality, it should end up working even if it takes some time

Is it possible to move or copy mails fron N800 mail client to Claws-mail? It would be nice to have those mails in Claws also. I would like to use mainly Claws but there's mails in native client and because that I have to use both.
Some possibly useful information: I have Claws-mail 2.8.1-3 running on an
N770 with the 2006 OS (specifically 2.2006.39-14). I downloaded it from https://garage.maemo.org/projects/claws-mail, then tried to install it
using "Install from file" in the Application Manager's menu. Result: a
message saying it couldn't install because it needed libsm6. I then
opened an xterm, did "apt-get install libsm6", and again tried installing.
Success!
Double tapping on a message won't open it, but selecting it with a tap and
then pressing the center button in the scroll pad on the left does. Also
helpful: the info about icons under Help, the manual and FAQ at www.claws-mail.org, and the info in this thread (esp. about IMAP folders).
A great app, infinitely better than the default email client.
I'm using it now. I found out about the new release because I kept updating that web page. Anyway, this version includes the fix that Colin made for imaps-with-Citadel-server, which means that it works for me too now.
Good stuff. I have claws-mail in the simple-launcher setup, and I keep my existing osso-email setup, which means that the infamous "two guys" in the left column of the Hildon UI will still beep and turn green when there's new mail. But after that I go claws-mail!
