AROS: Forum closes, successor recommended
Already in the middle of July Ola '4pLaY' Jensen had announced that the forum "AROS-Exec" would be closed on September 19 for health and financial reasons. Since nothing has changed since then, Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz recommends to use AROSWorld as successor.
Ola Jensen's withdrawal from the AROS Archives, on the other hand, has no further consequences, since Krzysztof Śmiechowicz has already supported him here since the end of 2021 and continues this commitment.

AmigaOS 4: Sylpheed 3.7.0 for AmiCygnix released
Edgar Schwan wrote: Version 3.7.0 of the email client Sylpheed is available for AmiCygnix (snapshot). It is based on GTK+ GUI Toolkit. The design and
user interface is similar to many well-known email programs from the Windows
world, such as Outlook Express.
Why another mailer? Sylpheed has a very good support of the IMAP4 protocol,
which is currently only available with a few Amiga mailers. But Sylpheed
also has other interesting features.
New in this release:
- Update to the latest stable version of Sylpheed. The program was ported from scratch and some bugs were fixed that way.
- Working remote control of Sylpheed. Sylpheed can only be started once, when started again, the options are passed to the running program.
- Update to SQLite 3.9.3 in "bogofilter 1.2.5".
Supported protocols:
- POP3 / APOP
- IMAP4rev1
- SMTP / SMTP AUTH
- NNTP (News)
- SSL / TLSv1 (POP3, SMTP, IMAP4rev1, NNTP)
Features:
- multiple accounts
- thread display
- newsreader
- printing
- address book
- templates
- external editor (e.g. Vim, which has spell checking)
- powerful filtering (POP3, IMAP4, local spool)
- powerful search (query search, quick search, search folder)
- customization of toolbar
- mark / color label
- and much more
