TLS still works for my Yahoo imap access and my privateemail.com imap  
access.  It was the difference that caught me - but then, that's gmail,  
I suppose.

and one more restart of Balsa and it started working as expected, so  
I'm back in business.

I was first using "all" and switched to only "imap" when there was too  
much overhead from my untroubled pop3 access.  Is the list of  
possibilities for G_MESSAGES_DEBUG documented anywhere?

What started all of this was a sent message I managed to not save a  
local copy of.  Problem with gmail is once you have downloaded a  
message by pop3, there seems to be no way to reset it to download  
again.  I needed imap access to get at it (in any gmail folder to copy  
to a local folder.  The other thing I sometimes check is the spam  
folder, since there seems to be no way to download it anyway and make  
my own spam decision locally.  In an attempt to turn down gmail's spam  
threshold, I need to use their web access to mark as not spam - unless  
anyone has a better way.

I'll play more with both imap and libnetclient turned on, but I still  
wonder if there could/should be more specific imap debug output.   
However, I probably won't have any need for it again for at least a few  
months :-)
