Hi All
GNOME:Apps is the development project for claws-mail;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=claws-mail&project=GNOME%3AApps

So that (when updated get's pushed to factory). It will then be
available in the other repositories. If vuntz or DimStar allow an
updated into oss, it will get pushed to the 12.1 update channel...
