Sylpheed-claws is the latest stuff in the Sylpheed line from what I understand (sort of like Mozilla vs Netscape I think) I haven't noticed the problem you speak of above using Sylpheed-claws.

I like using the ligher-weight jPilot which synch nice with my Palm for my calendar needs and jPilot also works with Sylpheed. I don't have a complex calendar set up so Evolution seemed a bit of a heavy-weight product for my daily needs. That's the cool thing about Linux, though, - lots of choices:) AT> It also has all the other functionality that was mentioned in the AT> original mail, but they just refer to it by different terms. Just curious, can you lock messages so they aren't deleted from a folder and can you color code messages in Evolution? I haven't used it yet since as I mentioned I didn't really need a full "Outlook" oriented package running for my normal e-mail needs.
