Description Joe 2017-06-12 22:55:31 UTC
Hi there,

first of all I have to say "thank you" a lot of times. I am incredibly grateful about the fact that the Claws Mail developers' team maintains a solid alternative to market-leading e-mail clients, especially Thunderbird.

I relied on Thunderbird for many years, but when policy in the company changed, it wrecked several of my accounts (and a lot of offline data difficult to recover).

Currently, I am testing the 3.13.0 version of Claws Mail (for the sole reason that 3.15.0 isn't in Debian's "stable" repos yet).

As for now, I already got three IMAP accounts to run, and I encountered only few issues during that.

However, I now tried to add a fourth account, which is a POP3 account.

Then, strangely enough, Claws Mail didn't offer me to generate a completely new folder for that, but instead, in "Receive" -> "Default Inbox" it only offered the Inbox of the first IMAP account I had configured in Claws.

1) This looks like a bug to me.

2) Would it be a good idea to work around this bug by doing what I proposed here: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=42140?


Greetings, and thanks in advance for your answer, Joe
