Re: [work] Re: Running Sylpheed-claws on win98.

Hi Thorsten,

try the port scanner at 'http://www.atelierweb.com/pscan/download.htm' with the Enhanced Ports Finder for Windows NT/2000/XP Plugin. You will find the 'listening' application.

After starting sylpheed port 1050 and 54321 are opened. Then I check two accounts and ports 1053 and 1055 are open. If Icheck them again, additional two ports open. Seems for me that sylpheed does not close the used ports (the log for pop is ok, send quit - recieve ok). Maybe time to try a newer sylpheed version.

greetings, Steffen
