Hmm, that's weird., I just started with Balsa a few days ago and don't 
remenber having all these problems. Let me see now... I've set up a 
POP3 account and I selected the "pass thru procmail" option. And I look 
at the properties of my Inbox, it's a /var/spool/mail file and is 
marked as my Inbox. I'm having no problems.

I know I had a couple of freezes immediately after I installed Balsa. 
I'm not sure I did anything in particular but I haven't experienced 
anything like it since then.

Hmmm.. After reading my message, it doesn't seem so useful. :-(
