I'm not exactly sure what to look for. My current balsa has been
running for a couple of days ...

lsof | grep balsa | wc -l

  appears to show 232 open files.

Of which 42 are something like: "/tmp/pop-HT3P5U (deleted)", so I assume
those are hanging around from my POP connections to gmail.

87 of them start with "/usr/lib", so (I guess) they are just libraries
that balsa is using?

There are a handful of pipes and a handful of sockets.

It appears that only 13 of them are actually mail files of mine,
and they look like the same ones that are in directories that are
actually "open" in the mailbox menus.

Is there something particular that I should look for?
