Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2017 16:51:24 -0500

I installed hunspell and enchant to use the spell checker.

Claws-mail will not work with spell checker. I get an error message
every time i create a new mail message:
No se puede iniciar el corrector ortográfico.
No se pudo inicializar el diccionario Ninguno:
(null)
No se pudo inicializar el corrector Ninguno.

That says that the spell checker could not be started. And that the
dictionary none could not be started.

"claws-mail needs to be built with libenchant support"
"you can't add it afterwards"
That is what Claws-Mail's main developer said.

I guess guix does not build claws-mail with libenchant support by
default.

Claws-mail is built with support for libenchant:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/mail.scm#n928

So, there must be another problem.

one thing you can do is launching Claws-mail from a terminal rather than
clicking on its icon

That way you can see the log and if there are any errors/warnings, you can
copy and paste them and report them

The only error I get with:
claws-mail --debug
is about spamassassin

I would try without the "--debug"" part

Just launch it with

claws-mail

then, repeat the steps that produce the error

When the error is reproduced, some meaningful output could show up in the
terminal

The error is not produce. It just exists. I tryed without
--debug
and I get no other error. By the way, it reported spamassasin not as an
error but as a warning.

Another option is to start claws-mail, record the process ID, then
attach strace with “strace -f -p $PID”, and then to perform the action
that triggers the error.

Maybe claws looks for things in invalid directories; in that case
“strace” should be able to confirm this.

It may be the problem I identified there:

  https://bugs.gnu.org/25836

Namely, libaspell (used by libenchant) doesn’t honor $ASPELL_CONF, and
thus thinks it has zero dictionaries available.

I’ve been meaning to email upstream and ask for advice, let’s see.
