I don't understand why "utf8" is generated on my machine.
I already explained that, glibc *internally* normalizes the charset part of the locale name. (because in the past people would inconsitently use iso88591 iso-8859-1 iso_8859_1 and other combinations thereof)
ALWAYS use .UTF-8 when setting up the locale.
Can you please also run the command
"LANG=en_US.UTF-8 locale"
also
if "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 claws-mail" still complains the problem is in the application and you should ask upstream.
btw, is there any real issue or just the annoying logs?

Hey Damjan, The Ralfs problem comes from trying to run two en_US locales but with different encoding and I spotted that. But as you mentioned that glib is involved I did some research and it looks like you and I were correct: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-hackers/2002-March/msg00253.html Cheers
