Sylpheed como alternativa Linux a Thunderbird
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Sylpheed can replace Thunderbird for users who need a lightweight, fast mail client with basic calendar and contact features, but it lacks the rich calendar, chat, and RSS integration that Thunderbird offers. It is suitable for users who prefer a small footprint and simple configuration, such as developers or those on older hardware.

Sylpheed stores mail in the MH format, which is not compatible with Thunderbird’s mbox or Maildir. Direct import of Thunderbird profiles is not supported; users would need to export messages to a common format (e.g., mbox) and then use a conversion tool before importing into Sylpheed.
Pasar de Thunderbird a Sylpheed, paso a paso
- Export Thunderbird mail to mbox or Maildir using the Export feature.
- Export contacts to a CSV or vCard file from Thunderbird’s Address Book.
- Install Sylpheed from your distribution’s package manager (e.g., apt install sylpheed).
- Configure your email accounts in Sylpheed using the same server settings as Thunderbird.
- Import the exported mail files into Sylpheed’s MH mailbox directory or use a conversion script.
- Re‑import contacts into Sylpheed’s address book via the CSV/vCard import option.
