I tried to install the Sylpheed RSS feed plugin both from Synaptic (sylpheed-claws-gtk2-feeds-reader) and then with the downloaded package from the website. Both times failed, with the installer complaining that Sylpheed Claws Gtk2 > 2.6 can not be found on the system, though it is in the usual place (/usr/bin).

Anybody had luck installing any of the plugins?

Jerry it is called claws-mail in debian.

apt-get install claws-mail-feeds-reader

Thanks. Now to test it...

I have included it for the final (plus the bogofilter for spam)

Great--it works well.

If you haven't looked at it yet you might want to try out Osmo. It compliments Claws-mail very well. It takes care of calender, contacts, notes and more. They work very well together.

osmo has been included from preview1 and will be in the final.
