Claws can connect to SMTP over VPN. At least some VPN. However, it
tends to have networking problems when running for a long time which
are resolved by restarting claws. These problems tend to affect SMTP
earlier than IMAP but over time both protocols are affected and claws
cannot do any networking until restarted.
