accessing account from external 'claws-mail' client
Need Answer
hi,
recently i am unable to access my mailbox account from Claws-Mail on my desktop. now, the web interface is the only way to do so.
i was wondering if there are other subscribers using the same Claws-Mail client and willing to share their experience, specifically how it's setup.
cheers;

Hello,
I am not a Claws-Mail user but I installed it to see if it worked and it does. It doesn't auto-detect server configuration so you have to do it yourself using the information provided by mailbox.org (Gear icon > Connect your device > Windows PC > Mail).
I ticked the "Use TLS" box for the IMAP setup since mailbox.org says to use SSL/TLS. Claws-Mail then complains about an unknown TLS certificate which you can accept and save.
To send mails, I had to go back into Configuration > Edit accounts > Edit your account > TLS tab > Send (SMTP) tick "Use TLS", because it defaults to "Don't use TLS (but, if necessary, use STARTTLS)" when setting up the account and you apparently can't change it during that initial setup. It then also complains about the unknown TLS certificate for the SMTP server but you can save it like for the IMAP server.
Cheers,
William
