Actually, Balsa is the original GNOME mail agent. Balsa started somewhere  
between gnome 0.3 and pre-1.0 but then development stoped for a while.

I don't see that as a problem, Balsa is a MUA while Evo is a uhhh, PIM :)

So far balsa releases have been mismatched (read - late :)) with GNOME  
releases and that's been the major problem. But as you can see balsa is in  
cvs.gnome.org and there is a balsa.gnome.org - balsa is a gnome project. Iirc  
balsa was almost in fifth toe 1.4 but we weren't quite happy about the  
release available at the launch date so it didn't go in.
Maybe it's time to start looking into this again!
