claws-mail doesn't seem to download new mail automatically after i start it,
and also not every 30 minutes
though it seems to be configured like that.
can anyone confirm that?

i copied the settings of claws around
might that be the problem.
Here are my right-settings:
[email protected]:~$ ls -l | grep Mail
drwx------ 4 user user 4096 Mar 11 22:28 Mail
[email protected]:~$
[email protected]:~$ ls -l Mail
total 8
drwx------ 4 user user 4096 Mar 11 22:36 inbox
drwx------ 2 user user 4096 Mar 11 23:11 queue
[email protected]:~$
[email protected]:~$ ls -ahl | grep claw
drwxr-xr-x 12 user user 4.0K Mar 15 18:15 .claws-mail
[email protected]:~$
though i think that the folder "Mail" was created by claws, not by me.

The default location for claws mailbox is ~/Mail. You get a chance to change that during the initial setup. I haven't played with copying an existing mail directory. I just started fresh.
I just set it to automatically get mail when the program opens, and it worked. Didn't try timed fetches.

I see.
I always copy that folder from one installation to the others. Never had any problems in doing so.

fyi:
i copied the settings of ~/.claws-mail from the same harddisk to the other installation of refracta,
and here mail gets downloaded automatically.
I probably did something wrong while cp the settings folder.

I found the problem:
claws-mail -> menu -> configuration -> edit accounts
both were not marked ( i did that, to disable a non-active account, it has nothing to do with copying the config file around, which i already did many times).
whew.
