What's the Maildir++ Plugin?

 The Maildir++ plugin for Claws Mail provides direct access to Maildir++
Mailboxes used by IMAP-Servers like Courier-IMAP, BincIMAP or Dovecot without
having all the IMAP overhead of a connection to 'localhost'.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Requirements


  •  Claws Mail 0.9.10claws48

  •  Berkeley DB 4.1

Newer versions can work too. If you use a precompiled package, you might have
to install an additional development-package.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Install

 Run the configure script. You need the Claws Mail includes and pkg-config
files that are usually installed, when you install Claws Mail.

 After the configure script you can build the plugin with make and install it
with make install. It should install plugins in the location where the other
plugins are usually $PREFIX/lib/claws-mail. But you can load the plugin from
any directory, also from the src/.libs directory in the source directory, if
you don't want to install the plugin.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Usage

 The Maildir++ plugin consists of 2 parts. A common plugin maildir.so and a
Gtk+ plugin maildir_gtk.so. You probably want to load both plugins also the
common plugin alone is enough to use a Maildir++ folder that is already added
in Sylpheed. But without the Gtk+ plugin you can not add new Maildir++ folders
in Sylpheed and the PopUp-menu of the folder tree will only show you the common
operations that all folders support and not the operations that affect the
Maildir++ folder. So you probably want to load it too.

 After you loaded the plugins you can add an existing or create a new Maildir++
folder with the 'File/Add mailbox/Maildir++' entry in the main menu. After that
the folder should appear in the folder tree and is useable just like any other
folder.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ToDo

 Things that still have to be completed:

  •  Automatic updating of folder contents, when changed by other program
