Merging won't happen - well, anything is possible in theory, but I
can't see it happening. For one thing they have different,
incompatible licenses. Claws is GPLv3, Sylpheed is GPLv2 plus LGPLv2,
therefore no Claws code can be used in Sylpheed any longer. As far as
I can tell, Sylpheed would not switch to GPLv3 because that would be
incompatible with the proprietary version of Sylpheed, "Sylpheed
Pro", http://www.sraoss.co.jp/sylpheed-pro/

BTW, Claws can play a sound on receiving mail, see the 'Run command'
frame on the 'Receiving' page of the prefs.

with regards

Paul
