As far as I know Claws Mail is a fork of Sylpheed. Claws Mail initially was called "Sylpheed-Claws" and later renamed to "Claws Mail". Which is a change of a name, not a fork. Which makes Claws Mail a fork, but not a fork of a fork. Not entirely sure about that though. > Rafael Laguna wrote: > > [...] but we need to consider lots of things to include it in Lubuntu > (easyness of use, look, continuity, accessible community, active > development, etc) [...] Again, not entirely sure, but, at least to me it looks like as if the development of Claws Mail is a lot healthier / more active than the development of Sylpheed. > Rafael Laguna wrote: > > [...] You know what?

I had a quick look at the Claws Mail bug tracker and found those comments: http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2321#c2 http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3066#c4 Sounds like they are saying that they are doing their own icon theme(s) for Claws Mail because the standard GNOME icons do not offer enough icons to cover all icons necessary for Claws Mail?
