[Users] Why do some users prefer Sylpheed over Claws Mail ?!?

[Reid Vail]

I used Sylpheed for several years and like it very much until I decided it start
using imap and Sylpheed started hanging. And in a related and more important
different (to me) the published Sylpheed forum community was, to me, bizarre and
non-responsive. 

As a package, it's much more limited in scope and features, but is a clean,
nice-looking package, and generally solid. Try it.
