Thanks for getting back, Peter. Peter Bloomfield <[email protected]>:

If not, just make it your > local mail directory. Maybe I misunderstood you but I ended up confusing the GUI: the contents of my home directory appeared in the left pane. After some trial and error it looked as though I had to edit .balsa/config manually. I changed the type of all the mailboxes from LibBalsaMailboxMbox to LibBalsaMailboxMaildir (a wild guess). I also created the cur/new/tmp structures accordingly, and Balsa seemed happy. However, when I try to send a message, it ends up in outbox and never goes out, even when I try a "Send queued mail". No error message. Only the message stays in outbox. I changed the port number and ran netcat to verify that Balsa doesn't try to make a connection. What follows is my .balsa/config: ======================================================================== [mailbox-Inbox] Path=/home/marko/Mailbox Type=LibBalsaMailboxMaildir Name=Inbox [mailbox-Outbox] Path=/home/marko/mail/outbox Type=LibBalsaMailboxMaildir Name=Outbox [mailbox-Sentbox] Path=/home/marko/mail/sentbox Type=LibBalsaMailboxMaildir Name=Sentbox [mailbox-Draftbox] Path=/home/marko/mail/draftbox Type=LibBalsaMailboxMaildir Name=Draftbox [mailbox-Trash] Path=/home/marko/mail/trash Type=LibBalsaMailboxMaildir Name=Trash [Notifications] GtkUIManager=true LibBalsaAddressView=true [identity] CurrentIdentity=Default Identity [InformationMessages] ShowInformationMessages=3 ShowWarningMessages=2 ShowErrorMessages=1 ShowDebugMessages=0 ShowFatalMessages=1 [Geometry] MailboxListNameWidth=80 MailboxListNewMsgWidth=20 MailboxListTotalMsgWidth=25 IndexNumWidth=30 IndexStatusWidth=16 IndexAttachmentWidth=16 IndexFromWidth=128 IndexSubjectWidth=180 IndexDateWidth=128 IndexSizeWidth=40 MainWindowWidth=640 MainWindowHeight=480 MainWindowMaximized=false MailboxListWidth=130 SendMsgWindowWidth=640 SendMsgWindowHeight=480 SendmsgWindowMaximized=false MessageWindowWidth=400 MessageWindowHeight=500 MessageWindowMaximized=false NotebookHeight=170 [Interface] ShowPreviewPane=true ShowMailboxList=true ShowTabs=false ProgressWindow=0 LayoutType=0 ViewMessageOnOpen=true AskBeforeSelect=false PageDownMod=false PageDownPercent=50 ShowMainWindowToolbar=true ShowMessageWindowToolbar=true ShowComposeWindowToolbar=true ShowStatusbar=true ShowSOSbar=true HideDeleted=true ExpungeOnClose=true AutoExpunge=true AutoExpungeMinutes=120 MessageWindowActionAfterMove=0 [SourcePreview] EscapeSpecials=true Width=500 Height=400 [Printing] PaperName=iso_a4 DisplayName=A4 PPDName=A4 Width=210 Height=297 MarginTop=6.3499999999999996 MarginBottom=14.224 MarginLeft=6.3499999999999996 MarginRight=6.3499999999999996 Orientation=0 LeftMargin=0 TopMargin=0 RightMargin=0 BottomMargin=0 PrintHeaderFont=Monospace Regular 10 PrintBodyFont=Monospace Regular 10 PrintFooterFont=Sans Regular 8 PrintHighlightCited=false PrintHighlightPhrases=false [MailboxList] ShowMailboxContentInfo=false [MailboxChecking] NewMailNotificationDialog=0 NewMailNotificationSound=1 NewMailNotificationIcon=1 OnStartup=false Auto=false AutoDelay=10 CheckIMAP=1 CheckIMAPInbox=0 QuietBackgroundCheck=0 POPMsgSizeLimit=20000 [FolderScanning] LocalScanDepth=1 ImapScanDepth=1 [MDNReply] Clean=1 Suspicious=0 [smtp-server-Default] Server=[deleted]:25 Anonymous=false RememberPasswd=false SSL=false TLSMode=1 BigMessage=0 [Globals] MailDir=/home/marko/mail OpenInboxOnStartup=false Debug=false AutoCloseMailbox=false AutoCloseMailboxTimeout=0 RememberOpenMailboxes=false CurrentMailboxURL= EmptyTrash=false DefaultAddressBook=address-book-1 [FolderMRU] MRUCount=0 [FccMRU] MRUCount=0 [PipeCommands] MRUCount=1 MRU1=sa-learn --spam [address-book-1] Path=/home/marko/.balsa/addressbook.ldif Type=LibBalsaAddressBookLdif Name=Address Book ExpandAliases=true IsExpensive=false DistListMode=false [identity-Default Identity] FullName=Marko Rauhamaa Address=marko@[deleted] ReplyTo= Domain= Bcc= ReplyString=Re: ForwardString=Fwd: SendMultipartAlternative=false SmtpServer=Default SignaturePath= SigExecutable=false SigSending=true SigForward=true SigReply=true SigSeparator=true SigPrepend=false RequestMDN=false GpgSign=false GpgEncrypt=false GpgTrustAlways=false GpgWarnSendPlain=true CryptProtocol=4 ForceKeyID= [MessageDisplay] DateFormat=%x %X ShownHeaders=1 SelectedHeaders=from to date cc subject ExpandTree=false SortField=0 ThreadingType=0 MarkQuoted=true QuoteRegex=^[ \\t]*[|>:}#] MessageFont=Monospace SubjectFont=Monospace Bold WordWrap=false WordWrapLength=79 QuotedColor0=#000088888888 QuotedColor1=#888800000000 UrlColor=#000000008b8b BadAddressColor=#ffff00000000 DisplayAlternativeAsPlain=true ConvertUnknown8Bit=false ConvertUnknown8BitCodeset=0 [Spelling] SpellCheckLanguage= SpellCheckActive=false [Sending] WordWrap=false WrapLength=72 AutoQuote=true StripHtmlInReply=true ForwardAttached=true AlwaysQueueSentMail=0 CopyToSentbox=1 [Compose] ComposeHeaders=Recipients Subject ExternEditorEditHeaders=false QuoteString=> [Toolbars] WrapButtonText=1 ======================================================================== Marko _______________________________________________ balsa-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/balsa-list
