Hi Ivan: That sounds like an interesting hack^H^H^H^Hfeature!I believe that the condition you're hitting could arise if you move mail into a mailbox that has at some time been in Balsa's mailbox tree but is not currently. That might happen if it's at a deeper level of the directory tree than is currently scanned, or if it has been recreated after Balsa started. In any case, asserting that it can't happen seems like overkill!
I believe the purpose of the assertion is to avoid replacing an existing view structure with a fresh one; the attached patch takes a more relaxed approach. Could you see if it helps?

Hello,
I've been trying to hack the balsa source to add a feature that would
be useful to me. The feature is a save option, which will
automatically move the selected messages to local folders who's names
are determined by the email from-address in the message.
In its current state, the button will save messages to folders,
correctly. However, invoking the option will cause balsa to
periodically crash, with the following error message:
** ERROR **: file mailbox.c: line 2113 (lbm_get_view): assertion
failed: (g_hash_table_lookup(libbalsa_mailbox_view_table, mailbox->url)
== NULL)
aborting...
The file mailbox.c isn't one that I've touched with my code. It seems
as though I'm somehow leaving the mailboxes in an invalid state,
probably something to do with how I open the mailboxes (I created the
mailbox with libbalsa_mailbox_local_new, and called g_object_unref on
it when I was done).
If someone more familiar with the inner workings of balsa knows what is
going on, I would be appreciative. The following is a backtrace, if it
would be useful:
