yes, confirmed..

you can sent email with pthreads and you can access all other options with
pthreads except SENDING pop3 i already looked into this and cant find the
cause. since everything looked so CORRECT but there must be an issue.

try this.... compile one balsa with threads and one without threads
now start the balsa without threads... check mails.. leave that balsa
now you can start the pthread version of balsa and it works perfectly.
but you need to go this way. its strange.

its not removed... should be still in the code... just disable libesmtp
support

pawel. this really needs to be nailed down before 1.2.0 final... its more
than frustrating... i better loose 20 mb of ram for memoryleaks instead this
pthread issue. its only related to pop3. seem its not related to any file
under src/ it must be somewhere in libbalsa/
