That most likely is ok, but it's better to run

sudo chown -R  foo:foo /home/foo/.claws-mail/
sudo chown -R  foo:foo /home/foo/NameOfTheMH/

Assumed the username is 'foo'.

I suspect an owner problem, since a mod or attr would affect root
privileges too, but I dislike to chown without ls first. You never
know.

I'm at least not sure if
$ sudo ls ~
always is /home/foo/ or on some installs could be /root/,
