in ~/.claws-mail/ you'll see clawsrc and accountrc, etc. See `man claws-mail`

It looks like on ubuntu they should be found in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/claws-mail/plugins/

You said originally that "I don't seem to be able to send anything using
Claws-Mail" but the debug output doesn't show any network activity, sending
or receiving attempts.
