She can't be any newer...  I installed my build script on her system and
it compiled/installed 3.13.2git153   Hmm...  I never use[d] IMAP; are
there any IMAP-only dependencies that may need to be installed?

We've been through that...  she has K9 mail setup this way on her Android
phone and that works. So she was puzzled as to why it didn't work on CM;
and why I built the latest for her...  

BTW, there was a strange situation where 3.13.2git153 initially tried
loading Mageia's default 3.11.1 plugins. Those were in italics.  Before I
could think of anything, she hit Load on one of the [non-italics] 3.13.2
plugins and that worked, so we continued with the rest and all's fine now
with the plugins... so maybe the next step is to use a fresh
~/.claws-mail...?
