Thanks very much, Zach.
As my Claws installation on an external drive has a complete archive of all
my email I plan to keep that as is. Can I install a new copy of Claws on
the same drive to use with Protonmail,
in other words multiple instances of Claws on the same drive each accessing
different mail hosts. Would there be any conflict? This is probably covered
in the Claws FAQ. The configuration files for each would probably preclude
that.
