Coming about five months after the release of version 3.17.5, Claws Mail 3.17.6 is here to implement a new Phishing warning that will prompt users whenever they copy a phishing URL, in addition to clicking a phishing URL. New privacy options are also in place starting with this release. Users will now be warned when sending an email if the selected privacy system is set to None and the automatic signing and/or encrypting is enabled. Also new in Claws Mail 3.17.6 is the ability for the application to Inherit Folder properties and processing rules from parent folder when creating new folders with either the Move Message or Copy Message dialogues.
