Package: claws-mail
Version: 3.1.0~rc1-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

I am using claws to read news from a nntp server that requires
authentication (news.arcor.de). After doing the upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.1.0
I had to change the news config. In the old config, I had selected only
"Dieser Server benötigt Beglaubigung" (server needs authentication). Now,
this resulted in an error like this: 

* NNTP-Verbindung zu news.arcor.de:119 wird erstellt...
[11:15:51] NNTP< 200 newsspool4.arcor-online.net - Welcome to Arcor NNRP
  service - for problems mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] (posting ok) 
[11:15:51] NNTP> GROUP alt.guitar.bass 
[11:15:51] NNTP< 480 Authentication required for command 
** Gruppe alt.guitar.bass konnte nicht ausgewählt werden
** Gruppe alt.guitar.bass konnte nicht gesetzt werden

After selecting "Beglaubigung beim Verbinden" (authentication on connect)
additionally and re-connecting, things worked fine again. I think claws
understanding of options shouldn't change unexpectedly like this, at least 
there should be a hint somewhere (e.g. README.Debian)...

Thanks for your work

Michael Below
