Box icon theme for Claws Mail and Sylpheed?

[Rafael Laguna]

In fact, Sylpheed-Claws was already a fork, and then its development
stopped and reborn as Claws Mail, that was another fork. But it does not
make it less suitable for use :)

About the standard theme, it's a bit stupid. There're name conventions for
every action in the desktop. Mail apps are fully covered. You just need to
see Evolution in action. It has a lot  of icons and all of them are taken
from your gtk theme.

But don't worry, we'll post any vote or decision here, because we all are
the community and we all have voice.

Thanks for the info, anyway ;)
