[Users] Configure Claws for IMAP GMail in Windows 10

[sgeneris]

If it's not the default acct, how do I deactivate the POP acct? I don't want to
delete it as I have folders associated with it.

I have no idea why it uses 143. It's auto-configured as IMAP so doesn't it
need to use the proper port? Why do I need to configure the port
manually -- have no idea how.

I have attached the configs of both accts -- can you pls provide steps
to change port?

Thanks.
FP
