Hello, I don't know what I have done but I've lost the message vindow on sylpheed-2.4.8. I've installed 2.5.0 the result is the same : my only way for read à mail is Ctrl+Alt+N. Thanks for an idea about to repair that. -- Alain <eurlix.alain at free.fr> Sylpheed-2.5.0 on Zenwalk/Linux-5.2 (gcc-4.2.3)
