This may not be exactly right, but essentially the history is as follows: Sylpheed was the original GTK1 mail client. At some point, there was either a fork or a development version called Sylpheed-Claws. The original Sylpheed became a GTK2 mail client called Sylpheed2. Sylpheed-Claws then changed its name to Claws-mail to avoid confusion, with apparently debatable results. :-) So, today there is Sylpheed2 and Claws-Mail. I use Claws-Mail and Mutt. All the various claws-mail-* ports are extra plugins. It also appears the pkg-descr for Claws-Mail needs to be updated to reference the name change as well as the correct website, www.claws-mail.org. I have prepared a patch for the maintainer and will submit it via GNATS.
