Hi I have just installed sylpheed from ports. Just a few questions... - can i use it without X11? - how would i add an icon to my dock for this app? im more used to doing this on freeBSD. - has anyone using sylpheed set it up using gmail? I have set it up with gmail on a windows machine, which works fine receiving but i cant send my using it... OS X 10.4.8 PPC G5 Thanks Eoghan
This sounds like a question for the sylpheed mailing list (assuming one exists), as it really has nothing to do with MacPorts itself. On Dec 29, 2006, at 7:10 PM, eoghan wrote:

yes make use of my AppleScript Sylpheed launcher lovated here : <www.yvon-thoraval.com/Scripts/> or, when my box is down : <thoraval.yvon.free.fr/Scripts> takes one of the files : Sylpheed_dist.dmg.zip (the bin only) Sylpheed_src.dmg.zip (the whole AppleScriptStudio project) the AppleScript app WORKS ONLY with the MacPort installed Sylpheed (path to sylpheed is "hard" coded, but u might change that to your needs esealy.

no prob because gmail is POP... NOTICE the MacPorts Sylpheed is OUT OF DATE since YEARS (2 to 3)... i'll write a pkg in order to install Sylpheed the latest within weeks, if interested, send me an email... best, Yvon

Hi Yvon Thanks for that. I suspected X11 was mandatory, just wanted a confirmation. I will have a look at your files too. I dont understand your answer about gmail being POP... sylpheed supports POP3. I have setup gmail on Apple mail and thunderbird with no problems. As I said I can set it up fine with no problems, I just cant send any mail from sylpheed using my gmail account... Thanks Eoghan

the sylpheed package i've planed to write will NOT use X11 because i'll use the native version of gtk+2...

yes i just mention that gmail is pop to say u shouldn't have prob with it and sylpheed...

great! Id like to know when youve completed this... thanks Eoghan
Well, you can not blame sylpheed just yet. You have to take into consideration your internet provider. I noticed that whenever I went to any of my friends house with sbcyahoo or any equivalent services under that "umbrella" (i.e. AT&T, BellSouth, etc), then I can not send out any email using POP unless, I use their POP access (i.e. mail.sbcglobal.net, user/password.. you get the idea). Look at it that way. HTH -Altoine eoghan wrote:
