i've seen this issue sometimes too.

but this seem to be this..

balsa pops a mail and during it pops exactly this email, somehow
a timeout happens and you get the dialog and the half poped mail.

you open the mailbox and want to read that mail and its just empty
but repoping your mailbox will retrive that email again and this
time if no timeout happens, the mail is fine.
