I'm experiencing the following bugs with Balsa 2.0.7 (running Gnome
2.2):
* In former Balsa releases, if I had the Inbox open and a new message
arrived, the Inbox would automatically refresh itself and scroll down
to show the new message. In these last two versions, the status bar at
the bottom of the main window changes to announce for example "Inbox
with 20 messages, 1 new", but in order to see the message I have to
switch to a different mailbox and then back to the Inbox.
* Twice when I've written a message in Russian (KOI) and saved it as a
draft, it subsequently disappeared from the Draftbox and was lost
forever.
Incidentally, I'd like to take a moment and complain about Balsa's
general handling of mailboxes. I think the entire "commit" idea is
silly, as most users come from mail programs where changes are
automatically commited. I've been using Balsa for about six months now,
but too often even I move some messages, exit without commiting, and
upon launching the program again see the messages in their original
positions. The Preferences option "Drag-and-drop moves messages by
default" was a good step in the direction of making Balsa act more like
other clients, but IMHO having to commit changes should be tossed out.
Or is this some kind of limitation caused by using libmutt?
