Radio amateurs in Russia in most cases use e -mail mail.ru вида позывной@mail.ru.
Open source mail client SYLPHEED является самым лёгким (установочный файл занимает 10 Мбайт) и поддерживает Linux, Windows и Mac OS. Данная статья - про настройку клиента версии 3.7 для Mail.ru и YaNDEX, according to the IMAP protocol for Linux or Windows.

What are the advantages of SYLPHEED?

1) lightweight and fast (written in the language "C") Postal client (10 MB distribution)
2) the possibility of turning on encryption or signature of letters using gnupg
3) you can enable a notification of reading - a rare possibility that is absent in most web interfaces.
4) Russian interface and intuitive management in the style of the famous mail customer Thebat!
5) supports the modern IMAP protocol and SSL connection.
6) the possibility of setting up letters filters (for sorting).
7) the possibility of saving letters from the IMAP server on a PC in folders included in the hard drive, if necessary.
8) there are cache messages - letters that were open earlier, for the second time they open to view instantly.

By default, Sylpheed leaves letters on the server when working with a mail server,
how it does the mail client Mail.rU through his web interface. This allows you to work with a mailbox with several PCs (work, house) and a smartphone.

The use of this approach (the base of letters on the server and display on the client) saves a place on the local disk, unlike the ThunderbirD, which loads the letters locally.

Installation SYLPHEED

In linux:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get instaLL SYLPHEED

In Windows:
Download the distribution SYLPHEED-3.7_SETUP.exe from the site SYLPHEED.

Sylpheed setting for mail mail.ru

1. First of all, you need to allow third -party programs to access the account of mail mail.rU and take mail from the mailbox. (By default - prohibited!)

   * Enter the computer in the mailmail.rU * with your username and password
   In the right top of the window, click on the name of your account and select the item "Password and Security" **
   

*In the section "Entrance Ways" Enter the menu item "Password for external applications"

*click the "Add"

*In the form of input , set the current mail passwordmail.rU and solve the problem to protect against robots - "captcha".

• Click "Continue"
  *The program will report that " Password for the external application was created " and will display a very Lorous password for the external application.

  

  Createdmail.ru сложный пароль нужно выделить "мышью" в окне программы просмотра www, скопировать пароль в буфер обмена (CtrL+C).

Therefore : Create a text file with the name "pwd-sylpheed.txt" or others on a PC, insert the password into an empty text file and save to disk (for further use). However, you need to understand that it is undesirable to storage passwords in open form - to install the owner of the Root and the rights of 700:

sudo chown root pwd-sylpheed.txt
sudo chmod 700 pwd-sylpheed.txt

1. We launch SYLPHEED through the operating system menu ("Start" - "Internet" - "SYLPHEED"). It will be proposed to create an account in the program. Type of mailbox select IMAP4
   

2. In the next step, we fill in the fields "Your name" and "EmaIL "
   

3. In the next step, we indicate the following data:
   * Login * - The name of your account of the type of call sign@mail.ru, например R1ABCD@mail.ru
   Server IMAP - We write Imap.mail.rU
   You need to install a box " use ssl "
   server smtp - Write Smtp.mail.rU *
   Put two checkmarks " Authentication smtp " and " use ssl "
   

   • Press the "Forward" buttons and then "close".

4. In a new window, we insert a long password through the exchange buffer that was received through the web interfacemail.rU and click OK.
   

5. The main menu of the SYLPHEED program will open
   

6. Settings - accounts - (my account)
   

   • Изменить

7. On the first bookmark in the IMAP field, we again insert the password into the password field (which should not be empty).
   

8. On the right on the right lay "more" you need to check and fix the ports

   • SMTP 465
   • IMAP 993
     

9. OK. Закрыть. Настройка учётной записи завершена!

Sylpheed work check

1. Create and send to our email address a test letter - sending works
2. Press the right mouse button by the name of the folder Callsign@mail.rU - rebuild the list of folders.
3. "Remove the list of folders" - "Yes."
   
   There will be no errors.
   If there is an error of rebuilding the list of folders, the reason is that the IMAP login should be set in the form
   C.allsign@mail.ru а не caLlsign.

4. Now you need to call the context menu, clicking on the line "Inbox" by the right button and select the Mouse with the right mouse button, load the posts of messages ,
   

SYLPHEED SUSE for Mail Yandex.ru

I will give shots of the Sylpheed screen screen for Yandex Mail for Business ("Mail for Domain"):
The instructions for setting up external programs recommends that the user name use: use:

• For a personal mail box - a user name without a domain indication, for example, for a box user12345@yandex.ru нужно указать лишь первую часть: user12345 .
  *For business mail (Yandex Mail for a domain) Login is a full address example: Sales@myfirm.rU

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Disadvantages SYLPHEED (supplemented)

Based on the results of use, there were shortcomings:
1) As in Thebat!, When letters display in HTML format, all formatting disappears, only a pure text is displayed. Some (advertising) messages with a large number of tables and pictures are not displayed on the screen - "message failure", others contain only text and links. In the third case, the HTML written is displayed as the attachment of the HTML file in the message. But this is 99% applies to mailings and spam.
2) The advantage and disadvantage: letters from the IMAP box are not loaded locally (but this strongly saves the size on the hard disk and the Internet traffic to download all messages). The opening of previously unread letters from the mail server always occurs with a small delay (because the connection occurs and the server works out commands and transmission back). Letters open instantly at the speed of the Internet 50 Mbps .. In the future, messages from Kesha open instantly.
3) a multi -window interface (you can not open a message by a double click of the mouse) - the mode always works in which the program window is divided into 3 parts.
4) investments in letters look like buttons or dropping lists with long inscriptions (the name of the file and its type). Each investment is a separate line. Fortunately, the opportunity is realized by one action to preserve all investments from a letter to the folder.

Conclusion

Sylpheed postal program works well with small mailboxes, letters with simple texts with a small amount of investments. The advantage of the program can include a large font in the body of the message, quick dispatch, a very modest use of memory and space on a hard disk, the possibility of using IMAP and SSL protocols.
