I wonder if we're all talking about the same thing.  For me, "checking  
mail" means checking either pop3 or imap source.  An mbox file is a  
mailbox, so is the issue that some other process is putting mail into  
that file and balsa is just not noticing that the file was changed an  
updating the view?  They are different issues, and I suspect had  
different changes between the gtk2 and gtk3 versions.
