Arch Linux User Repository

Unfortunately, I've resorted to using to Claws Mail (I don't prefer it). After struggling to get this to build on my own, I think I'm just going to go with the .deb package. Thanks for your reply.

The Sylpheed project for all practical purposes is unmaintained, very dead and done with.

Probably somebody might be able to get the sylpheed git checkout to build successfully, but I won't be chasing that squirrel wheel myself.

Perhaps switching to claws-mail (it forked from sylpheed a long time ago) might work for you — it is under active development and seems to have a small and friendly community?

This, and all of the other iterations of this software on the AUR, does not seem to build at all anymore. Can anything be done about this?

Try building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sylpheed-iconmod-git , I just made it. It does require automake-1.15 from AUR to configure the build, though.

As the author of Sylpheed has moved its development to git, I seriously doubt he'll bother to release separate "beta" packages anymore, so *-git packages are probably a way to go.

It seems gpgme-config is gone in the latest version of gpgme I installed (1.19.0-3). So I cannot activate gpg.

Any idea how to fix this?

Sylpheed 3.8 beta 1

Hello,

Sylpheed 3.8beta1 (development version) has been released. (sorry for VERY long absence of updates)

In this release, OAuth2 authentication support was added.

https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/news.html https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/download.html#development

Changes since Sylpheed 3.7:

• OAuth2 authentication support was added. (currently tested with Gmail and MS365 Outlook)
• Win32: fixes for update checks on Windows were made.
• Win32: included SSL certificates were updated.
• Win32: included OpenSSL was updated.

Note about OAuth2: - The client IDs described in the oauth2.ini file included in the package have been created for testing purpose. A warning that these client IDs are not confirmed by Google or Microsoft will be displayed on the authentication. There are cases when these client IDs become not available in the future. - OAuth2 implementation is still working in progress and some features (such as refresh token) are not implemented yet.
