OK, thanks it works now. But a few things seems misleading in the FAQ.

I have left the project status as "testing" not "in production" (it would make no sense for me, I am only a user, not the developer of claws mail).
I have added myself as a testing user and I have added nothing under the "restricted scopes". It seems to work.
