Sylpheed als Linux-Alternative zu Becky!
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Sylpheed can replace Becky! for users who need a lightweight, open‑source client that supports POP3/IMAP, multiple accounts, local mbox/maildir storage, filtering, and address book import. It is ideal for Linux users who prefer a GTK interface and want low resource usage. The learning curve is minimal for those familiar with classic mail clients, but it lacks some of Becky!’s Japanese language support and advanced UI polish.
