Back in 2001 Claws Mail (formerly Sylpheed-Claws) started as the bleeding-edge version of Sylpheed, in order to act as a testbed for new features for Sylpheed. The idea was to regularly resync with Hiroyuki's main branch, and vice-versa. Claws Mail then evolved into the stable, extended version of Sylpheed, and in 2006 became an entity in its own right, in part due to different goals and the fact that syncing both codebases stopped happening. Claws Mail has many extra features compared to Sylpheed and is more powerful, yet is just as fast, lightweight and stable.

Well, considering that was written a decade ago, it doesn't really answer my question...
