Claws Mail has many extra features compared to Sylpheed and is more powerful, yet is just as fast, lightweight and stable. Also, with the right plug-ins and theme loaded, it really very hard to beat. Many additional plug-ins are available. A simple search in (your package manager) will return numerous plug-ins to add to Claws Mail. Some common, very useful ones are, BogoFilter (spam), Clam Anti-virus, GtkHtml2 HTML Viewer (html emails), Notification, and vCalender.

After installed be sure to enter preferences located in the configuration menu to load your plug-ins. Some common, very useful ones are, BogoFilter (spam), Clam Anti-virus, GtkHtml2 HTML Viewer (html emails), Notification, and vCalender .

Themes are also plentiful and easy to install. You can download them individually or in a pack. You don't even need to extract them. Just save them to your computer. Open Claws Mail>Configuration> Preferences. Find themes and click “Install new”. Locate your downloaded theme and click OK. Use the “Selector” drop-down menu and pick your theme and click Apply and your done. I personally suggest the brand new Elementary Theme that was recently released. It looks really, really good.
