Ah, okay..., because I am suggesting to upgrade the widget toolkit,
which Claws Mail is built upon, to the latest version, I am trying to
replace and transform Claws Mail into Outlook or Thunderbird, yeah...,
right, that totally makes sense... [/IRONY]

If I would want to use something that is more similar to Thunderbird or
Outlook, I'd probably do just that: use Thunderbird and/or Outlook.

However, I currently do not want to use them (for good reasons).

Thanks, but: no. "The Bat!" is not open-source and not cross-platform,
at least as far as I know.

Well, to be honest, I don't know (yet). But I assume that the GNOME /
GTK+ developers have a reason when they say that, starting with GTK+
2.24.8, GTK+ 2.24.X is "officially the best ever Gtk+ 2.x release on
windows".

And, as already mentioned, Sylpheed profits from it as well.

By the way:

Even though you constantly seem to want to downplay my request, you
still haven't provided one single argument against upgrading GTK+ 2 to
the latest version in Claws Mail Win32.

Just saying...

Well, I had a feeling you would say that...

However, at least to me, Sylpheed is very similar to Claws Mail. And,
considering that Claws Mail is a fork of Sylpheed and considering that
Sylpheed is also an application that utilizes GTK+ 2 on Win32, I don't
think it's too far fetched to compare them in this case.
