yeeau!
1. first off, I wrote you that you don't really need to waste your time  
_importing_ mail, just moving it to a Balsa Mail folder.
2. Claws is rich in its plugins (I say it again!), but loses in HTML  
handling, which is considerably better in Balsa, though still  
incomplete.
    So I wont be surprised when you come back to Balsa :)

That thing is either Maildir or MH, both supported by Balsa (wrote ya  
previously!).
The user's choice, to be honest.
