My impression is that these dialogs are for making *new* Balsa connections
to *existing* mailboxes of the various types. The `Mailbox name' seems to
be used for display when the mailbox is first shown, but when you restart
Balsa, the local folder scanner sets up a mailbox with a name based on the
file/directory name.

It would be useful to add the capability to really *create* new mailboxes
(i.e., including the disk files/directories needed)--in fact, I'd say that
was a requirement for Balsa to move to the status of user-friendly!
