It’s very frustrating to open everytime gmail applet to check email… even if there are many firefox add-ons to do that (like gmail-notifier).

So it’s a good thing to have a small email client installed.

My choice is SYLPHEED. It’s an email client which consume less than 9 mb in ram…

Here is a screenshot:

ArchLinux installation:

Sylpheed is in community repo… so it’s installation is very simpler

Only a command:

sudo pacman -Sy sylpheed

Or if you want svn version use AUR:

• get the tarball SYLPHEED-SVN
• extract it to a folder
• cd to the folder
• makepkg -i

or YAOURT:

yaourt -S sylpheed-svn

After that it’s time to configure it:

GMAIL
