That's about right.  Balsa remembers which mailboxes were exposed  
(or open) by saving an url, and the url is "imap://..." or  
"imaps://...", depending on whether you're connected using SSL.

It also saves the target mailbox for a filter that way, and the  
most recently used lists for fcc and message-move--they all  
become inaccessible if they're set up using SSL and you switch to  
TLS.

We're exploring ways to ease that situation!

Best,
