      </question>

      <answer>

        <para>Yes, Sylpheed 3.1 adds support for this often requested feature. The format of the multiple instances command is as follows:</para>

        <para><command>sylpheed --instance-id <replaceable>ID</replaceable> --configdir <replaceable>path-to-alternative-configdir</replaceable></command></para>

        <para>Default <parameter>ID</parameter> is set to <literal>sylpheed</literal>, so you can specify any other instance

<parameter>ID</parameter>. The <parameter>ID</parameter> is used for the name of unix domain

socket (under UNIX), or mutex name (under Windows). <parameter>configdir</parameter> specifies the configuration directory, i.e. the location of  configuration files you want to use with the given instance.</para>

        <warning>

          <para>Do not share same configuration directories or mailboxes across multiple instances as this may lead to an unexpected application behavior!</para>

        </warning>
