Something that could be related : I once had a SMTP
server problem and Balsa failed to submit the messages
on the outbox, but it left them marked. So on the next
try it just told me : "nothing to do" as marked
messages in the outbox mean that they are already
being processed by a sending thread.
So check if your messages are marked in your outbox
(if yes just unmark them and retry to send them).
