Not on this occasion - but this turned out to be 3.11.1 when it started.

I did, and I still didn't win, but after that I let the first start
interactive feature create the account it wanted to make, which was of
fantasy origins, but then the first start dialogue was happy...
I deleted the fantasy account, and claws-mail happily connected to the
local mail server.

I imported the mail from kmail with a perl script from the website.

Now he is busy making all his required filters.
