Also it was not useful as it was under Linux. I can't recieve any e-mail due to a session timeout. Nor can I send any e-mail since it can't queue it.

As all of ya should know Micro$oft is the Evil Empire, and Windows (a.k.a. Winblows or Windoze) is their greatest general, so please make a difference and install Linux or FreeBSD on yer Windows comp.
it is PAF'ed, i dont know why you cant recive email with it, everything works fine on my end. i see what you mean about sending though so ill have a look into it
You could just add .paf before the .exe

Fixed Send queue issue
thanks for what you are doing.
I love that app and it'll be nice to have it as portable app.
As I trigger getmail button, it crashes, though.
Could you check it out?
I got some error with line 3874 (...folder....)
I'm not as technical, so please tell me what information do you need.
was the error from claws-mail itself or the launcher??
The error must be in Claws-mail, because it started normally and crashed as you trigger "get mail".
can you take a screenshot of the error and post a link to it here for me to see, also did keep the mailfolder name as "Mail".
Updated to Claws-Mail 3.0.1
Link don't work!
@developers: THANK YOU!!
Can anyone send me a copy of Shawn's Claws-Mail please? Email me on kim(dot)wood(at)bigpond(dot)net(dot)au. Thanks in advance.

If you want palliative solution, get http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-2.0.1.exe , which includes Claws Mail for windows. After install in program dir create bat-file with next code:
set HOMEDRIVE=
set HOMEPATH=%CD%\mailstore
set USERPROFILE=%CD%\mailstore
start %CD%\claws-mail.exe
And so create dir "mailstore" or as you wish, but needed to change its name in bat.
This bat will launch claws-mail as portable, all mailboxes will be stored in "mailstore".
Some trouble - Claws Mail too many uses drive, and it is not good for flash. May be because I have IMAP-mailbox.
Hope, this help someone.
I was disappointed to see that enigmail for thunderbird was only developmental. Does pClaws have encryption capabilities (preferably OpenPGP, optionally s/mime)?
Thanks,
Lance
Claws has GPG/PGP features as one of the standard plugins.
I would love to be able to use this and contribute to the testing, but the only Windows machine I use is my work machine - which is limited to port80 access...

Is it multilingual ?
It has been translated into quite a few languages. Tried to work on it myself, but don't have the time to keep it updated.
