As always with autoconf-generated configure scripts, check contents of 
config.log file. The configure script basically tries to link a dummy 
object file with libesmtp.(a|so). Assuming that you installed libestmp 
in /usr/local/lib, and libraries in this directory are not taken into 
consideration by your ld, you may want to run
LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure <options>
instead.

We should probably use libesmtp-config to determine the location of the 
libesmtp library.

No, this won't change a thing, I am afraid.

Apart from this, the error you experience seems strange. I am using 
daily balsa with POP and never saw something like this. I am tempted to 
blame it on library mess (I do not know which distribution do you use 
but it is easy to make one by abusing rpm --nodeps on RPM-based 
systems). Anyway, I look forward to more information from you.
