Yes, this is normal given it doesn't happen when expected. But given the
huge amount of problem reports for all kinds of different issues it
seems like things are past the point of being out of hand.

The one I mentioned in the first part of my email (not shown here since
it wasn't quoted)

It's not under Advanced.

It's in the list of accounts, the first column is G for get mail, it's
unchecked.. also in the Receive section if you select the specific
account it's also unchecked there.

I have been using Claws for a long time, I guess close to 15 years. It
just seems to break a lot more lately.
