The correct way to do this is to run an IMAP syncing program automatically, to keep a mirror of all your email on your local machine. Then you point Claws at the local machine, not at the remote IMAP server. As a bonus, any local mail client will be able to look at the local email spool.

Syncing tools include offlineimap, mailsync, isync, getmail6, and a bunch of others.
