Then may I ask what is the point of even having a PPA? PPAs are typically used
to bypass the wait period between Ubuntu releases but the PPA has not been
updated in over 2 years and therefore it is completely outdated by a lot.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=claws-mail&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

Ubuntu 16.04 = claws-mail 3.13.2
Ubuntu 16.10 = claws-mail 3.14.0
Ubuntu 17.04 = claws-mail 3.14.1

Your PPA maxes out at 3.11.1 yet your website tells Ubuntu users to use the PPA
on the downloads page.

If you do not want to maintain your PPA then alright but at least update your
website to stop directing people to it and maybe just remove the PPA entirely.
At the moment, the website is telling people to use something that is no longer
worth using.
