Gtk is not GNOME.  GNOME depends on Gtk, but so does "The Gimp" and many
many other applications.  GNOME is on top of Gtk (it is another layer) 
CSCMail does NOT depend on GNOME.  It DOES depend on Gtk.

We don't require "horse shit.h"  Now, whatever it is that it REALLY
needed, if you don't bother to post legitimate error messages, I can't be
bothered to help you.

We don't require the use of a database.  MySQL and Postgres (among
others) are supported, but not required.  Again, your attitude is
bothersome, but dispite your attempts to color the issue by substituting
"horse shit" for valid pieces of the error message, I can still discern
what the problem is.

You have to create an empty MySQL database with the same NAME as the user
you wish to run CSCMail as.  BTW: did you bother to read the CSCMail
documentation?	All of this is clearly spelled out in our docs.

gig?  DB?  Are you referring to GPG and CSCMail?  If so, no at this time,
CSCMail cannot get keys from the key server.  You do need to enter each
key in manually for users whom you wish to send encrypted mail to.  This
is being worked on, but at this point GPG support can be considered BETA.
 Why are the keys in the address book? where else would you put them?

Upon re-reading your message, I find it very hard to believe that all of
the word substitutions are intentional.  I also checked the header and
noted that you are running 1.6.1 ... There was a spellcheck bug in 1.6.1
that caused multiple wierd substitutions such as is apparent in your
e-mail.  I strongly advise that you upgrade to 1.7.8 or at the least do
not use the spellcheck feature in 1.6.1...
