My wife has been using Sylpheed (and Sylpheed related for a few years 
now).

I recall that Sylpheed sets its hostname based on a reverse lookup on its 
local IP. I had same problem because in my /etc/hosts, the first result 
was non-FQDN (just one word). I changed the order of the /etc/hosts line 
and it solved my problem. It's been awhile but I think that was my 
problem. (My hostname was already correct -- fully qualified.)
