Sorry for top posting - its' webmail.... Only addressing a few points.

Thanks, if I can ever get balsa to build from source I'll try it. (I'm still
using the one in xubuntu.)
I tried the git instructions on http://balsa.gnome.org/git-help.html but there
isn't an "./autogen" in the git directory (nor a ./configure), so I downloaded
the most recently release tarball which at least had a ./configure, and it
complained about missing dependencies. So far I've installed intltool,
libgmime-2.6-dev, gmime-bin, libgtk2.0-dev, libgtkhtml3.14-dev, libesmtp-dev,
and libnotify-dev and it's _still_ complaining about missing dependencies.
That's about the point at which I lost interest, but it looks like I'll have to
get back to it because balsa is... sort of unfinished?
--> As a user, not a developer, I've been using Balsa with great luck for many
years. There are certainly things that could be improved, but that's the case
with anything. I'd keep going through the dependencies. I'm on Gentoo, so
even
a package install does a full build so all the dependencies are there if I want
to compile from git. However, in Ubuntu/xubuntu, you could look at the package
in the Synaptic or other package manager and check the listed dependencies.
You
probably need the -devel version of most of them to compile, but that should
cover most of them.
When you cut and paste text, the window doesn't scroll. The first email I sent
had a typo in the smtp configuration and "send queued" seems to be a complete
NOP, so there's an email message in my outbox which just won't send.
--> I've had this problem in the past. You don't need to toggle unread, you
need to toggle "flagged." Then a send/receive will actually send it. You can
also edit it (outside of Balsa) in the Outbox.
