#200101 — trouble by new install of claws mail

The message:

"Your Claws Mail configuration is from a newer version than the version
which you are currently using."

Claws Mail is right.

I did copy Claws settings from debian testing to a new system on stable.

I do not want to loose my settings.

Claws seems to work OK but the message remains.

Any ideas on  how to solve this?

And no, I do not want to switch to testing again.

Thanks!

Edit 

$(HOME)/.claws-mail/accountrc

and change every line containing "config_version" from 3 (which it is in
the version from testing) to 2 - once for each account you have.

I have done this recently, and didn't notice any regressions.

Also, notice that claws-mail 3.17.1 is available from backports.

See my previous answer, it is described in more detail at

https://www.claws-mail.org/cvc.php

and see the details under "Manual downgrading to the previous version".
