How to Set Claws as Default Mail Program?

http://crunchbang.org – You're right, Ben...  lots of dependencies (I wasn't thrilled with that).  The help file are pretty explicit, though...  they instruct you to change the default mail reader via your system, as there's no way to do it through mail-notification.  So that's why I'm searching...I'm in this jam, by the way, because the program I was using before (checkgmail) stopped working.  It was nice, while it worked.  If I can't edit the default mail client, I'll try what many others have done through conky.

Hey all. ):P

After installing CLAWS mail client, I purged Thunderbird.

But now in the menu bar, under the mail icon, clicking "mail" redirects to nothing.

I can't seem to right-click and edit it, and I'm not sure where to enable CLAWS as the default mail client. In fact, I'm kinda lost with Unity: I prefer KDE, but Kubuntu was a little unstable on my machine.

Thoughts?

As I understand it 'mail' is that program, but that only returns 'command not found'. I've searched for mail in Yast but only came up with lots of third-party programs.

Starting with tomorrow's Alpha 2, the upcoming Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system will feature the highly anticipated Mozilla Thunderbird 5.0 as default mail client. We know that some of you Ubuntu lovers out there wanted Thunderbird as the default mail client for Oneiric, but there are many others that still love E... (read more)

I have to admit I am an email junkie. I rely on my email client for keeping up with my work as well as my personal life. From my email client I require speed, power, and flexibility. When you think about email in Linux you think of three main players: Thunderbird, Evolution, and KMail.

I'm looking for a lightweight SMTP client to register as default mail client in a windows environment for 3rd party applications delivering their mails.

I don't want to install a heavy weight mail client like Outlook und Windows Mail doesn't seem to send all mails correctly, especially if the recipient is the used account itself.
