# althea(1)

IMAP email client for GTK+

## NAME

althea - IMAP email client for GTK+

## SYNOPSIS

**althea**

## DESCRIPTION

The designers of Althea felt that there wasn't a stable, easy to use, GUI, IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) e-mail client for X Windows. The design goal was a stable e-mail client with the richness of usability of Microsoft's Outlook, Qualcomm's Eudora, and Cyrusoft's Mulberry.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because **althea** does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format, of which the preceding paragraph is an excerpt; see below.

## SEE ALSO

This program is documented by the HTML file */usr/share/doc/althea/help.html*

This manual page was written by Jimmy Kaplowitz \<jimmy@debian.org\>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
