Hi Peter,
There is no much information to understand what exactly you tried
already.
I use claws-mail for a few years now, have no issues, it's a great
mail client, but whenever I want to start fresh I do go around all
settings (general) and account and tweak things, so I don't remember
what defaults are.
Take a look at "Configuration > Preferences" under "Mail Handlig >
Receiving" in "Automatic checking" section "Check for new mail on
start-up" is set (if you want this) (interval checking if you
want that as well).
Also take a look at "Configuration > Edit Accounts" then select your
account and "Edit", under "Account > Receive" is "'Get Mail' checks for
new messages on this account" set.
Regards,
Branko
