Hmmm, no idea what may be causing this, I noticed the same thing,  
though. However, what I love about balsa is this neat option "Remove  
duplicates" at the bottom of the Mailbox menu (main window). mutt may  
be the MUA of choice when it comes to quickly parse huge mbox-files  
(balsa always choked on my 100++MB file from one mailing list), but I  
haven't figured out yet how to remove duplicates there, so this feature  
really has saved me a lot of work several times...
