Sylpheed is an e-mail client based on GTK+ GUI toolkit. The appearance and
interface are similar to some popular e-mail clients for Windows, such as
Outlook Express and Becky!.

Why another mailer? Because Sylpheed hat a very good support of the IMAP4
protocol, which isn't available in other amiga mailers so far. But Sylpheed
also supports other interesting features.
