About the "freeze"... I can see in the status bar when Balsa checks the  
30+ folders on the local IMAP server, but the interface is still snappy  
during the check. What seems to cause the freeze is the extra checks  
that Balsa does now on two other IMAP accounts that I have and which  
are outside our internal network.

So, I'm wondering if it would be possible to do this extra checks only  
on selected IMAP accouns. Maybe migrating this setting to the  
properties of the IMAP accounts? The "Advanced" tab seems a perfect fit  
for such a setting. (Frankly, I've been using Balsa for five years now,  
but I didn't know this tweak).
