POV

"Speed" and "reliability" are POV. So is "powerful search and filtering". It smells like an advertisement. And please do not revert content tags without discussion, it's very rude. - Sikon 13:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete

A bunch of missing info (POP, IMAP, LDAP, etc.) can be found in Comparison of email clients. —Jerome Potts (talk) 08:22, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Developers should be removed

Long list of non-notable developers should be removed, because they aren't notable people. Just because I don't agree with that big list of names, doesn't mean you can slander me with the "censorship" word. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 18:07, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Namechecking --- Don't add people who have not been proven to pass WP:BIO to articles without a really good reason. --- Listing the names of all the members of an orchestra, all the employees of a small business, design studio or college department does not necessarily add to a reader's understanding of the topic. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 18:36, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose.
1. Wikipedia policy does not require them to be notable. (Wikipedia:Namechecking is a poorly written essay.)
2. "Censorship" is always done in good faith; when done in bad-faith, it is called vandalism, not censorship. Still WP:NOTCENSORED, especially just because you don't like them.
3. Slander is oral. Hence, it is impossible to slander anyone in Wikipedia. Also, we are having a simple dispute. Not everyone who disagrees with you is committing a personal attack.

You claimed censorship, so knock it off. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 17:12, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Sbmeirow: Let's do this methodically, shall we? Please tell me (even if you feel doing so is a repetition): Exactly what policy or guideline in Wikipedia does forbid inclusion of developer names? If you must, please both link and quote. If it is not a policy or guideline, but common sense that compels you, please explain that reason to me, and please tell me to what extent that reason would apply to other stuff in the infobox, such as version number. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 21:37, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Sbmeirow: I am afraid without answers to this question I cannot possibly support you. You have obviously not been absent, so please re-consider responding. Thanks. FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 09:50, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Codename Lisa: Please remove my name from the developers list (and as far as I know, other developers are asking the same), and please don't prevent this deletion because Wikipedia "is not censored", for the sake of privacy concerns. If a simple edit is not possible, please point us to the right direction/procedure? wwp (talk) 10:16, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Wwp

If you are indeed one of those people and want the name removed, the correct procedure is to have claws-mail.org remove your name first. When it is done, you can contact our oversight team, prove that the name you want deleted belongs to you, and request suppression of all revisions containing your name, in accordance to suppresion policy RD1.

Also, remember, if you truly one of the development team members, you are pretty much not allowed to edit this article. See WP:COI for details.

Best regards,

The exact phrase is "strongly discouraged". It's not actually "not allowed". --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:57, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, SarekOfVulcan! I understand that you Vulcans care a lot about technicality.

. Joke aside, I though if an admin dropped by, he or she'd be more inclined to talk about why I gave directions to Oversight an what's this pre-condition of mine. But I am glad that I met another wise admin that makes no assumptions in such intricate matters that people's privacy is at the stake.

Languages

Hi.

The article currently claims to be supporting the following languages:

Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Catalan, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish

I even downloaded and installed the app, but found no ways of setting its language to French or anything else.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 07:21, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Codename Lisa: Hello! If you failed in changing the user language in Claws Mail, thus not being able to verify that Romanian or French are there, it's probably because you are facing a local technical limitation, our support team even qualified this of a common PEBCAK, RTFM. Are you installing in Windows? Do you know how to change the language for GTK applications in Windows? BTW and for the sake of the wikipedia page pertinence, did you verify that the product installs and run on all the mentioned supported platforms? This is obviously not the correct approach to validate the edit you has reverted. Do we need to join a screenshot or video to verify such edit? Thanks for letting me know how to proceed or maybe we should simply indicate that the produc is multi-language instead of deploying the whole list of language the product is translated to?

Regards,

wwp (talk) 10:30, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, wwp. Yes, I installed in Windows. The app did not offer a choice of language, neither during the installation, nor during the first startup. I went no further because in Wikipedia original research is not allowed. In addition, it is a fact that I am forced to perform installation and initial configuration in English only.

GPG support

The full support for GPG cannot be verified. The necessary Windows binaries pgpcore.dll and pgpmime.dll are unavailable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.6.136.101 (talk • contribs) 12 jun 2020 12:29 (UTC)

Custom from address?

Here is something not covered in this article. Don't know if it is important enough to include. Sometimes I want to send a work-related email from my home PC but make the "from" the same as my work email so any response go there. Can I simply edit the "from"? This would also be useful for those who use a "do not reply" from address. -20:26, 5 September 2021 (UTC)2600:1700:D0A0:21B0:D9A4:451C:98BD:73C2 (talk)
