The IMAP mailbox is totally empty in Claws Mail. When I created the
accounts in Thunderbird and Opera Mail the inbox immediately filled
with all the mail in the university inbox, and all the folders migrated
immediately as well. That has never happened in Claws Mail. Claws Mail
makes no attempt to connect to the server except when I send a mail. At
least, I conclude that it makes no attempt because the Network Log
remains empty.
