I'm using GMail. I created an IMAP4-account using the wizard. It shows the folder with my account name but it doesn't open on a double-click and clicking on "get mail" doesn't do anything. I did a reboot, uinstalled Sylpheed and reinstalled. I used the "purge" command but after reinstalling, my account was there again. I still can't get my mail. The "delete account"-option you get when you right-click on it is greyed out by the way, so I can't delete and re-create it.

    Sylpheed is fast and nice, but it is kind of outdated and is wonky in my opinion. Thunderbird just came out with a new version and it is faster and cleaner. If you use the threaded conversations extension it gets really nice. Also there is a program called Geary that is a new email client that is much faster then Sylpheed. Hope this helps.

You uninstalled the application but did not delete your user profile folder.

Where this is found depends on your operating system, for example:

  • Linux ~/.sylpheed-2.0
  • Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings(user name)\Application Data\Sylpheed
  • Windows Vista/Seven: C:\Users(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Sylpheed
