💖 claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin 💖

okay bestie, so this is the section 7 manual page for claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin, living in the Claws Mail corner of the man universe. it handles vCalendar attachments, and yes it's as cute as it sounds. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin — handle vCalendar attachments 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk, this page is a quick little rundown of the claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin package. just the highlights, nothing extra. 💅

and here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution specifically, because the original program literally doesn't have a manual page. not me writing documentation out of pure love for the game. 😭

so what is claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin? it's a plugin (aka a loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer. periodt.

what it does: it lets you display vCalendar messages — that's the "text/calendar" MIME type, also known as iCalendar — in a similar way to how other well-known mailers do it. iconic behaviour tbh. 👑

⚠️ but bestie, heads up: only the meeting subset of the vCalendar format is currently supported. so don't come for it about the rest, it's doing its best. 💀

🫶 USAGE 🫶

before you can use a plugin you gotta instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup. gotta say please first, jk, just do these steps:

  1. go to the “Configuration” menu on the main window toolbar
  2. open the “Plugins...” dialog
  3. click the “Load plugin...” button
  4. select the plugin file, which is named vcalendar.so
  5. press the “Open” button

and that's it, you're in. glow up complete. ✨

once it's loaded, a brand new mailbox named “vCalendar” will appear in the folder list window. main character entrance fr fr. 🦋

inside that folder there's a “Meetings” inbox — that's where your meetings can be created. so cute, so organised, obsessed. 🎀

also: the contextual menu of this folder is lowkey useful too. it's giving utility. use it for changing the view mode or for adding webCal subscriptions. iykyk. 💅
