Disambiguation needed?

edit

There is also an entry for a game called Project Sylpheed. Might need a disambiguation page for these.

But is it an NNTP program?

edit

Checking the homepage, it doesn't look to handle NNTP. I could have easily missed something, but has this page been listed in a wrong category? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.139.84.186 (talk) 09:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Apparently not.

edit

The only reference to NNTP is in the Home Page, saying, 'It also supports NNTP'. But the home page describes Sylpheed as an "email client".

I have downloaded and installed Sylpheed 3.0.3, and it offers POP3 email, IMAP4 email, POP3 GMail, IMAP4 GMail. There is no way I could find of configuring a news server, and the SMTP/Email setup is mandatory.

Accordingly, I am removing the 'news' feature from the Wiki page. Whoever proves me wrong please contact me, I had great hopes of using Sylpheed as news client myself.

I use Sylpheed 3.0.3 to browse the Usenet and it works perfectly. To use NNTP you have to manually add an account via "Edit accounts" dialog and select the protocol from a drop down list. The account creation wizard doesn't list the protocol so it's a bit confusing. I'll be reverting the info about news capabilities for now. Ayayayaya~ Shameimaru!

Hi, I added that puppy linux uses Sylpheed as the default mail client too. But in my edit message, I accidently mentioned claws instead. Can the edit message be modified by some mod?

I've never heard of it being done, but you could just follow it with a trivial edit and a better edit summary. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 10:48, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
