Hi Jack:

First minor point is that at compile time, in libbalsa/imap, I get "   make: *** No 
rule to make target '../../../balsa-git/libnetclient/libnetclient.a', needed by 
'imap_tst'.  Stop."

It took me a while to figure this out - why would it need libnetclient.a under 
balsa-git, which is my SOURCE directory?  I'm building under a directory named 
build, parallel to balsa-git.  I think the issue is that in Albrecht's commit 
of 11 April to libbalsa/imap/Makefile.am, two lines were added, using 
$(top_srcdir) when I think they should have been $(top_builddir).

Your diagnosis is correct, unfortunately I did not consider an off-source 
build.  Using the attached patch, it works for me; the patch also fixes a 
warning about changing the permissions of a generated file.

However, other than the compile error, I don't think this should matter to me 
now, as I'm not using imap.

I don't think you will get a working executable, as imap is required...

I do suspect some network issue, as I see "Network is unavailable" when starting from 
command line, although I can ping external sites without problem.  also, I AM able to send out a 
message via SMTP, so at least part of the network does work.  When receiving (and I've tried all of 
the POP3 security settings) I don't see any messages on console except "Message: 157772800, 0, 
POP3" followed by one line for each folder, and a Finished.

Sorry, I do not understand what goes wrong here.  Which executable do you 
start?  With the error above, there shouldn’t be a proper balsa executable...

Cheers,
Albrecht.
