DM: Hi, James. I think the process on the back-end is similar, but it
may not be as automated / intuitive with Claws. If the FAQ doesn't help
you, then your best bet is to provide a detailed list of steps that
you're trying, what you think isn't working or not working, etc. Without
that, I doubt anyone will be able to help you. ---Dustin
