*Shrug* Sorry, don't know rocketmail. I, and many others, have been
using Sylpheed for many years with a variety of standards-compliant
POP / IMAP accounts (and Gmail), and it works beautifully. YMMV, I
suppose.

*Shrug* again. Sylpheed's dev, Hiroyuki Yamamoto, is one of the most
engaged and friendly (in a professional sense) software developers I
have ever met. He's active on the Sylpheed mailing list, fixes bugs, and
accepts suggestions. I'm sure if there's ever any sort of issue with
GTK, it will be taken care of.
