I was now able to create the claws-mail-3.15.0-1-64bit.exe ;-)

This was the steps which I have run on Ubuntu 17.04.

How difficult is it to create a portable zip file?
Is it allowed, from the license to offer the file claws-mail-3.15.0-1-64bit.exe for download?

I do not want to install claws just because I test the vcalender view ;-)
