17 1. What's the Maildir++ Plugin?
19 The Maildir++ plugin for Claws Mail provides direct access to
20 Maildir++ Mailboxes used by IMAP-Servers like Courier-IMAP,
21 BincIMAP or Dovecot without having all the IMAP overhead of a
22 connection to 'localhost'.

30 Newer versions can work too. If you use a precompiled package,
31 you might have to install an additional development-package.
32 __________________________________________________________
36 Run the configure script. You need the Claws Mail includes and
37 pkg-config files that are usually installed, when you install
40 After the configure script you can build the plugin with make
41 and install it with make install. It should install plugins in
42 the location where the other plugins are usually
43 $PREFIX/lib/claws-mail. But you can load the plugin from any
44 directory, also from the src/.libs directory in the source
45 directory, if you don't want to install the plugin.

50 The Maildir++ plugin consists of 2 parts. A common plugin
51 maildir.so and a Gtk+ plugin maildir_gtk.so. You probably want
52 to load both plugins also the common plugin alone is enough to
53 use a Maildir++ folder that is already added in Sylpheed. But
54 without the Gtk+ plugin you can not add new Maildir++ folders
55 in Sylpheed and the PopUp-menu of the folder tree will only
56 show you the common operations that all folders support and not
57 the operations that affect the Maildir++ folder. So you
58 probably want to load it too.
60 After you loaded the plugins you can add an existing or create
61 a new Maildir++ folder with the 'File/Add mailbox/Maildir++'
62 entry in the main menu. After that the folder should appear in
63 the folder tree and is useable just like any other folder.
