Re: Balsa pop config problems

["Erik Grinaker" <erikg chello no>]

I've had the same problem myself... It seems that if you uncheck
'Periodically Check' it won't check the account. Try ckecking it, and it
should work. Periodic search is defined somewhere else, and I suspect this
option is used to be able to control whether or not to periodically check
individual accounts.
