IIRC flatpak packages come from flathub, Mint is just providing the
flatpak management software installed by default. If a package has
problems I'd suggest you to contact the flatpak package publisher to fix
that: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.claws_mail.Claws-Mail

On the bottom of the page follow the "See details" under Publisher.

These are not claws-mail updates, it's an update for the flatpak binary
and associated libraries. I guess you should update that, as Paul
suggested.
