Thanks for coming back. That's the problem, no option for "spelling" Extracted aspell & enchant, but maybe they need moving? Claws doesn't
see a spell checker at all. running V3.17.8 Ubuntu 21.04

Go to Configuration in the Menu and then Preferences, and then Spell Checking, and see what you have there.
Thanks Johnny
No Spell Check there either.

That's strange. I don't remember having to add a spell checker to
Claws Mail. It just works, and highlights the misspelled word in red.
I'll see what I can find about that problem.

Thanks, appreciate, it was working ok before the laptop crashed & I

open file along this path:
$HOME/.claws-mail/clawsrc
check for these settings:
enable_aspell=1
dictionary=en
alt_dictionary=en
use_alternate_dict=0
check_while_typing=1
recheck_when_changing_dict=1
misspelled_color=#ff0000
use_both_dicts=0
Run in terminal:
sudo dpkg -l | grep aspell
You should see these packages are installed:
aspell
aspell-en
libaspell-dev
libaspell
I use Claws for news when I'm in Raspbian. I read somewhere that it
needs to be compiled for spellcheck. Where/How did you get your
Claws?

Thnks Kirk, getting permission denied to open that file. Not really au
fait with what to do to overcome that, advice?
Appreciate the help!

Sounds like your permissions are not right ..you should have
permissions to that file.
Run from term:
ls -al $HOME/.claws-mail
You should see your user in output for the files therein.
If not ..run this from user term/console:
sudo chown -vR $USER:$USER $HOME/.claws-mail
Substitute your real username for $USER and The full path for $HOME
in the above example command. Example in my case looks like:
sudo chown -vR kirk:kirk /home/kirk/.claws-mail

That would explain things. FlatPak and Snap packages are containerized
and don't have access to all system libraries and tools.
The packager of the FlatPak Claws package would have had to include a spellchecker with it, but I guess they didn't bother. Maybe the
packager is a resident of the US, eh? ;)

The way I heard the last line it was something like
