Are you accessing your GMail account using POP3 or IMAP? Balsa's POP3 client code has no option for 
downloading in chunks like that, so if you're using POP3 it would have to be the server throttling your use. 
If it's IMAP, which I use for two GMail accounts, it could be just another issue with GMail's weak 
implementation of the protocol; I get such slow service that I'd never notice chunking!
