	Hi, Michelle,
that was interesting to read your story and troubles you've seen.

As of the Thunderbird case it was a true surprise for me you could lose  
your mail with it. Thousands of users using it and proving it is ok, so  
you definitely did something wrong. But it is offtopic here.

No need, as Balsa supports mbox, maildir and MH. This is more then  
average in the hood :)
      You just need to figure out what _is_ your mail true format.  
Hint: Thunderbird uses mbox which you can just put into Balsa's mail  
folder omitting *.msf

As I understand, you use Linux for 9 years, maybe more.
In unix, we usually have some programs doing one job, other programs  
doing another job. That's why Balsa doesn't do everything including  
making coffee.
For incoming mail you would probably want procmail to process it (as I  
do too). For outgoing... mmm, I don't see a straight way for it, only  
hackish ways.
Anyone have ideas?

That part is hard for me to understand.
Can you describe in more details?
