After authentication you have to manually copy the URL from the address
field in your browser and paste that into claws. What is in the clip
board is the authenticate request and not the response the response as
stated above is what you see in the browser address field so copy this
and paste that into claws and the click authorize and it should work
for the next 30 days. When the 30 days are over you will have to redo
the process of authorization.
