You are trying to do 2 things at the same time. The PPA has not been
maintained since 2014. So forget that one.

The souces list is here::

/etc/apt/souces.list.d

Easy way::

Menu > Control Center > Software Sources

Check the box in the lower left and then update cache

Download the tarball here::

http://www.claws-mail.org/releases.php

Build with::

./configure && make && sudo make install
