Please, keep Sylpheed in Debian.  It is one of the greatest
mail clients ever despite rare updates and some bugs:

  Sylpheed saved my life:

One of the most annonyng bugs for me was that 3.8 stopped
working with Gmail:

  [in this mailing list]
  <20230517185517.11fbde9ecc42e23e5dff8bd7 at gmail.com>

so I remain on 3.7 until Gmail drops normal mail suport,
which I think will take palce on September the 30th.  By
then I hope to find a better e-mail provider.
