It sounds to me like your autostart command is set to claws-mail and not firejail claws-mail (I don't use claws-mail so I don't know the proper syntax, but just adding firejail to the front of the command should work.)

In XFCE this is edited in Menu > Settings > Session and Startup > Application Autostart tab

Looks complex, I may have to try that if all else fails. There is already a claws-mail profile though. I may try editing that.

The link I gave you is for a custom profile, but I'm sure you'll find there the easy way to make a non custom one.

Charlie, if I were you I'd focus on just getting rid of the old profile. When other apps are starting normally, and claws is the only one missbehaving, you should definitely check the profile. Just erase the old one, try creating a new one, to check if it was the old profile causing the trouble.

There must be others experiencing the same issue then? If it is so, and the developers have acknowledge this problem, they might be working on it already. You can always try asking them. Or google, if all else fails.
Good luck.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/firejail claws-mail
which did not autostart.
Hey Charlie, you might want to try

Code: Select all

firejail /usr/bin/claws-mail
and see how that works.
