When Balsa starts up, it reads athe mailboxes from the config file and scans
for local mailboxes in the default directories. They are added to a g_list
in balsa_app.
balsa_mblist_repopulate() will use that list to recreate the mailbox tree.
When adding a mailbox, apparently the config for it is written correctly,
but no libbalsa_mailbox is created for it if it's a local box. Therefore,
there is nothing to add to the mailbox list, and the mailbox will not show
up.
It would be necessary to use libbalsa_mailbox_local_new(), add that to the
g_list in balsa_app and call balsa_mblist_repopulate() for the main window's
mblist.
Formerly, doing this would have led to a segfault, that's probably the
reason the code was omitted, but I recently fixed the bug in balsa-mblist.c.
It should now be possible to implement this correctly.
