Glad to see that preference--now all that remains is to get Balsa  
to show your messages!

Is the mis-display consistent and repeatable for those mailboxes?   
And do you see the problem immediately on startup?

I recall seeing some display issues like that, but I believe it  
was when coming back to a running Balsa after a screensaver had  
been showing.  The problem may have been related to a display  
locking/synchronization bug that has been fixed in cvs. The next  
release (2.0.15) will have the fix.
