While testing this I could not find a way to configure TLS on Claws mail.
From their docs, I see gnutls implemented:
- Use ‘gnutls_priority’ hidden account preference for POP3 and
STARTTLS connections, in addition to SMTP. (27th October 2014 http://www.claws-mail.org/news.php )
and some bug reports about the Windows version of claws on their bug tracker:
http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2962
But I cannot configure TLS for the accounts, just StartTLS which is not recommended by riseup:

I will find out more about this on the Claws users mailing list:

pop3s is known to be broken with Wheezy’s Claws Mail since Riseup disabled SSLv3 there.
imaps works fine for me.

According to Claws mail developers, ‘If you want to be fully in control and exact in your requirements’ there is a big difference between Claws mail 3.11.1 and 3.8 which is shipped with Tails. With the newer version, I could configure TLS like
gnutls_set_priority=1
gnutls_priority=NONE:+VERS-TLS1.0:+VERS-TLS1.1:+VERS-TLS1.2
See the thread at http://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2014-November/011593.html
Claws mail 3.11.1 is on Debian testing. https://packages.debian.org/jessie/claws-mail
Apparently the changes on the security aspects are big.
See https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8305 for discussion on this

Seems like Riseup documented it: https://help.riseup.net/en/email/clients/claws
I can add it to https://tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_internet/claws_mail/ now that it exists, if we think it’s relevant :)

So, do you think I should add the link? That’s a common problem for users.

Info Needed)
I’m not sure.
- On the one hand, we don’t want to build up a list of all email providers in the world and link to their configuration pages.
- On the other hand, I don’t know many email providers who document Claws.
So feel free to do so if you want.

Merged, thanks. It was only missing a tiny bit of markup (9ca3361).
