Before I try this, just want to be clear on this. I selected Account
Info off, then Account Security, I don't see a Manage Passwords option, 
I do see a "Generate app password" option. I am guessing this is what
you are referring to. Clicking on that give me a selection list of
Apps, I choose custom, use Claws-Mail for that, then it will generate a
password for Claws-Mail. Then I use that password in Claws-Mail. Did I
get that correct.
