I find the option to ignore by Get All, but where is the option for
SMTP only? If SMTP only is turned on that would explain the whole
problem. But I can't find any place to set SMTP only.

I was afraid it wouldn't load my settings. Oh well. I enabled IMAP and
disabled POP. That's all I did.

But the settings on that page are irrelevant, I am sure. I say that
because I created the account in Opera Mail and in Thunderbird, and
both received all the messages without issue. It's only Claws Mail and
Sylpheed (on a different computer) that will send but not receive.
