Indeed, GPG4Win works very smoothly.

I see, Claws seems to have very capable filter capabilities. Ugly UI
under Windows, but powerful ;-) I noticed, it does not support SSL
encrypted transmission of pop/smtp passwords? Is this due to lack of SSL
on Windows or is this a general limitation on Claws 3.0.x that comes
with GPG4Win? This makes Claws unusable for mail providers like gmx.net
which only allow SSL secured transmission of passwords (maybe I am wrong
here and the still allow plain text, have not tested).
