Hi,

using an editor, try copying the encrypted password from one account to
another.

Take a look at it by running

  grep password -B1 ~/.claws-mail/accountrc

in a terminal.

Backup ~/.claws-mail/accountrc and then edit it with an editor.

I don't know if this does work, but why not testing it?

Ralf
