Re: balsa and deleted mail

[michael selectrec net]

I've been looking for a descent mail reader every since
I switched from win to linux.
This is application is far from being usable in every day.
The only thing this app has going for it is the fact that it integrates
with gnome-card which is another app ("for the moment") that isn't
very usable. Kmail is the only thing I've found close to being eye pleasing
& functional.
The fact that you have to double click on the inbox to get it to show up in
the upper right pane & no html rendering of links or header information has
got to
say something about what stage of development its in.
Probably when its all said & done this application will be useful.
Hopefully:  "this will be a good alternative to Evolution if your not
looking for a all in one app." email/addressbook/calendar/???

Just my opinion. Hope this helps.
