Re: Suggestions for Balsa

[Jon Tai <jon tgpsolutions com>]

by "break" I mean:

In Squirrelmail, the subfolders still show up, but the folder containing 
the subfolders is missing.

In Outlook, the subfolders disappear.

I agree that it's UW's problem, but I can't be the only one using UW out 
there... can balsa somehow detect UW and adapt to its way of thinking?
