Hello,

My first post, hope it is in the right place.

I first found Claws Mail last August and installed it via Synaptic.

Am I correct in thinking that it is for the developer to submit updates to the Repositories? Synaptic is still showing version 3.9.3 at the end of October!

If I can update in another way, please advise: do I have to uninstall the old version and what are the steps to be taken to install the latest one?

Thank you.

No, wrong place. Use the users' mailing list or IRC for such questions. http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php

In short, synaptic can be used in any debian-based distros. Please continue this via the routes indicated above.
