This gives me
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make: Target `install' not remade because of errors.

and the balsa binaries don't even get installed.

It most certainly did: I found that balsa is trying to talk to my  
server with APOP, even though I explicitly deselected "Use APOP  
authentication" in the account prefs. Here's the full dialog:

POP S: +OK <joe@blow>
POP C: CAPA
POP S: -ERR authorization first
POP C: APop joe <HEX HASH>
POP S: -ERR authorization failed

(values modified to protect the innocent)
My primary mail account doesn't support APOP, and never has. Makes  
sense that the other account worked, though, as it _only_ works with  
APOP.

I'll redo my configuration later... right now the sun is out and it's  
finally warm, so I'm going to go frolick in the green pastures (if I  
can find green pastures here in the urban jungle)
