This reminds me of https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/configure#index5h2 but I'm not sure whether this warning is complete correct and could be improved. I know that BitingBird has been working on the email client documentation, see #7694): https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7694 So maybe now is the time to improve on this. The current development draft is accessible on https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/tree/wiki/src/doc/anonymous_internet/claws_mail.mdwn?h=doc/7694-email_client > I spoke with someone at claws and they told me that this is a known issue.
