I doubt that this will work. Please use forward slashes ('/').

This path looks strange - why don't you start with a default, e.g. 
g:/program/aspell/dict/ ?
Also watch the trailing '/' in the example.

This setting shouldn't have any effect on aspell-0.50.3 from aspell.net
(I really mean this particular version), there only has to be a dummy
text in the field to prevent sylpheed from crashing.
FYI: There will come Aspell-installers in the near future, which will
set up some registry keys, so sylpheed will then be able to detect most
of those settings on its own. I am planning to do some Aspell/Sylpheed
cleanups after Christmas.

This most probably means that aspell\data is set up correctly (so sylpheed
can present a list of dictionaries in the settings window), but aspell\dict
(or the contents: .alias, .multi and .rws files) can't be found, accessed or
whatever.

There is a hard exit inside Aspell when it finds a dictionary definition in
aspell\data (e.g. en.dat), but the dictionaries itself do not reside in
aspells dict-dir (default: aspell\dict). It only prints a message to the
console and kills the parent app (sylpheed). In order to see this message,
start the debug version from a console instead of clicking on it (to leave
the console open after sylpheed terminates).

HTH,
