Still can't do it.
It all seems a bit of a phart.
There's no SSL, which Claws mentions in its documentation for v4.3.

All I'm trying to do is find an email client which will do what 
Thunderbird does without it using a big chunk of memory (and is free and 
will take 4 addresses of various kinds) and makes the tea and lays 
golden eggs :)
