look at the attached (little) picture and here:

bash-2.05$ ls -l mail/

never figured out that but it would be cool to get immediate information
e.g. i start balsa and it should tell me immediately how many mails i have
in each mailbox and how many of them are unread. and whenever i pop my
email it should automatically update the status too (same for sent messages
and messages that went into the outbox for some reason) this would help much.
