Of course. It is called login

or

chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/claws-mail
chgrp run-claws /usr/local/bin/claws-mail
then see man sudoers (examples section)


or what you probably actually want is to mount the encrypted claws data
folder upon usb insert?

I have no idea why RTFM is used so aggressively on LINUX mailing lists
because whilst 'apropos' is traditionally the most powerful command on
Unix-like systems it's 'modern' replacement 'apropos' on Linux is a tool
to help psychopaths learn to control their anger.
