I never used encryption with Claws, but I already used encryption and
you seemingly are confusing a few things.

The passphrase thingy is related to your key and importing public keys
to decrypt mails is something else.

You only one time need to type the commands to import public keys,
later you only need to use the mouse and click the action that runs the
commands.
