The developers of Sylpheed-Claws regularly synchronized code with Sylpheed and author of the customer’s Hiroyuki Yamamoto (Hiroyuki Yamamoto) used a new, any functions in your client. In November 2006 year (after the transition from GTK1 to GTK2) , the project changed its name to Claws Mail and began to develop independently.
