While checking for emails the program is "locked up" until the checks are done, and it can take a while. 2) As IMAP Gmail user is that new emails are flagged as unread instead of as new. This breaks notifications. It's not really Claws fault but rather Gmail but still, considering the popularity of Google services it is something to keep in mind. 3) Does not seem to support imap idle protocol. 4) The config part is a bit tedious with settings scattered all over the place. The entry bar is certainly higher than Thunderbird which is kinda like plug-n-play. Other than this the software is good and feature rich. Yet I am not sure at this Thunderbird should be replaced by Claws.
