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?
