I've not read them fully but after a quick glance at the pages seems those features require GTK+3 while Claws Mail is a GTK+2 application. I'm forwarding this upstream, but if a complete migration to GTK+3 is required I suspect this will end in the removal of the plugin from Debian :-( best regards, -- Ricardo Mones ~ Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.
