The new version of Maemo Claws-mail 2.8.1-5 available on garage provides :

- New icons in toolbars to open and close messages
- tap-and-hold functionnality to allow to use options in popup menus
- Open external web browser when a link in a message is clicked.
- In "Compose" window, the input fields are moved to be always visible (i.e. ever hidden by the virtual keyboard).
- A new layout especially created for the tablet and named "Little screen" increase the comfort of use as on screenshot below.

As the toolbars are customisable, those of you that upgrade from a previous version will not see the new buttons. For this, you will have to go to the Preferences (in Configuration menu), Toolbars, and choose "Use default" for the Main, Compose and Message toolbars. This button is at the right of the preferences dialog, so you probably will have to scroll to see it.

I want to thank Colin Leroy, one of Claws upstream developers with which I work to integrate Claws-mail in the tablet. Now the specific code for Maemo is integrated in the main code of Claws-mail project. That means that to each release of Claws-mail, will leave the Maemo version.
