Just for the halibut, I installed icedove (Debian's rebrand of Mozilla
Thunderbird), and set it up with just the new account. It works just
fine.

Here is a conjecture as to claws-mails' problem: Both accounts are on
the same server, and both use SSL/TLS. The SSL connection for this
account is made first, and then stay up. (At the moment I have at lease
one connection running, possibly 7 depending on how you read the output
from lsof.)

So: does having an SSL connection open for one account prevent
claws-mail from accessing the other account?

BTW, icedove has a nice feature: partial detection of account settings,
once you have some data entered.
