This is really venturing beyond the scope of maemo-users but if I was in your position I would use strace to run claws and see what system calls are being called and whether something obvious is failing. Installing and using strace is not a trivial task -- you might want to Google a bit to learn about it. But it is my suggestion for "what else to try". Actually, before trying strace, I would double and triple check what is actually being invoked when I type the command "claws-mail" (I assume that is the command -- I have never used claws). Start with "which claws-mail", then look at the program file and see if it is a real executable or a link to something else or a script or something (use the "file" command if you have that installed). Check that you are actually running the executable binary, not something which may be trying to help but is hiding an error message from you.
