Long time ago, yes.

No, and that's one of the reasons why the product name has changed.

Enumeration could be long, but for your information:

> 2. Currently, I am using Sylpheed. I wanted to try Claws Mail, too, but unfortunately, there are now up to date binaries for MS Windows (I am not using Linux yet).

The Windows version included in the gpg4win bundle is up-to-date
(2.10.0, see http://www.gpg4win.org/), but still incomplete in terms of
features - it's still lacking SSL, IMAP and most of the plugins. This
port is under heavy work, though, it's just a matter of patience now.

No, useless plug-ins only. Make up your own idea about what's useful or not:

http://www.claws-mail.org/plugins.php?branch=EXT

More questions and discussions about Claws Mail would be welcome on the
Claws Mail users mailing list or IRC channel. See:
