Usage and Troubleshooting ∞

Important plugins ∞

Manually modifying hotkeys ∞

Some hotkeys won't work even if you think you changed them in-program.

Quit Claws Mail before pursuing this.

On Windows, edit %AppData%\Claws-mail\menurc

It is important you find any existing entry which has your hotkey, un-comment it and replace its hotkey with something unique, or ""

For example, to have n go to the next unread item, do:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/View/Goto/NextNew" "")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/View/Goto/NextUnread" "n")

GMail OAth 2.0 support ∞

(Gmail)

It's fucking ridiculously difficult. I have absolutely no idea how anything works; the instructions are opaque.
