Thanks for the patch, I have just commited it without any change. There
was one potential issue related to setting BalsaMailboxNode::name field.
I would rather see some accessor method defined instead of copying
strings on left and right :-). While in this context the memory usage is
not increased substantially (people usually have rather limited number
of mailboxes), I would rather avoid similar approach when handling
messages. This is actually one of the things that bug me slightly: Some
strings, like the recipent list, message subject etc, exists in three
copies: as string owned by libmutt, LibBalsaMessage, and GtkCTree (for
displaying).  The last copy is inevitable when using current Gtk, but...

(I am finally back after my PhD dissertation, what a relieve...).
