Claws launches on mail workspace fine all is well

assign [class="Claws-mail" instance="claws-mail"] mail exec GTK2RCFILES="/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" /usr/bin/claws-mail

when i use keybinding to switch to mail, a new empty workspace named mail appears and the original workspace named mail with claws on it is left alone.

bindsym $super+m workspace mail

Not sure what i am doing wrong here

Can't be sure how your config file looks because you didn't use a code block, make sure the exec is on the next line. The issue might be extra spaces around mail, using quotes could help.

assign [class="Claws-mail" instance="claws-mail"] "mail"
exec GTK2RCFILES="/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" /usr/bin/claws-mail
bindsym $super+m workspace "mail"
