    271 does not work at all for me. Why is ssl at 0985?

    Works excellent. OpenSSL is old (0.9.8.5 ?); http://www.shininglightp...Win32OpenSSL-0_9_8k.exe.

    The fastest and feature packed e-mail I have used. Supports IMAP too.

    5 stars for being everything, and open source!

    @anomoly: Thank you for letting know how to change the theme. I was scouring all over the web trying to figure how to get it done.

    Switched from tbird to popeeper to this & couldn't be happier. Portable by simply renaming sample-sylpheed.ini. to sylpheed.ini. Theming is sooo easy. Install gtk+runtime environment with the theme selector. Copy it's themes from it's share folder to syplheed's same shared folder. Use selector in gtk and reopen sylpheed to see change. Pop peeper works great but no spam filter, no encryption, and no easy way to keep track of anything sent from it without doing a manual search.
    You will have to edit & update your mail server settings & recreate acct in sylpheed if necessary. Gmail can now handle other accts like hotmail and sylpheed only needs the one. Impressive

    This app is meant to be light, not beautiful, hence a 5/5. It works wonderful, even on dial-up connections with an older computer with 512 mb ram. Perfect for just email and nothing else.
