I have a partial success. I went to one of the machines that has Debian
8, and therefor claws-mail 3.11.1-3. I removed the old configuration
for the new account, and re-entered it. (The auto-configuration tool
failed.) That worked to the point that I can now see the mail folders
on the server. I should be able to set up filtering and other
customizations.

I say, partial success, because I am not yet ready to migrate entirely
to Debian 8.

So: Can I shut down claws-mail on both computers, and cut and paste the
new configuration from the new machine's accountrc into the old
machine's?

I diffed the two files. The newer version has two settings for all
accounts the older one does not have: gnutls_set_priority=0,
gnutls_priority=, and ssl_certs_auto_accept=0.

The difference in the two account setups seems to be that the 3.11
version has set_smtpport=0 and set_imapport=0, the older sets both to 1.
The manually set ports (465 and 993, respectively) are correct.
