Since your need is urgent, and Balsa is not yet mature, you might check
out Netscape Messenger (part of the complete Communicator package), and
ML.  (You can download ML from http://home.netscape.com/people/max/ml/
It is -not- a Netscape produce, and is no longer under active development.
But it's pretty solid, and handles multiple accounts and multiple mailboxes
pretty well.)
