It's not really necessary. With IPv6 support enabled, Claws Mail will
use IPv6 where it is appropriate - e.g. if server DNS resolution returns
an IPv6 address as first result, and the local system has IPv6
connectivity.

If your system does not have any IPv6 capability, that simply means
IPv4 is always used, because it is never appropriate to use IPv6.

Disabling this option during configure simply means that use of IPv4 is
forced even in case where an IPv6 connection is possible.

HTH,
