Address book editor

The address book editor appears to require libgmime-2.4.so.2. Is there 
a reason for the particular choice of version? Fedora ships 2.5.8

gtk3 branch internationalization ?

Hi,

I'm using the gtk3 git branch of Balsa here.
Unfortunately it doesn't respect the LANG environment variable  
completely.
Some submenu are in the language specified by the LANG environment  
variable while other parts
are still in English.

Am I missing something, or is it a known bug?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

JFYI: sent folder FCC wrong

	Hi!

to anyone who misses his/her sent mail:
it could drop into some other then "Sent" folder. Look here:
$ grep MRU1= $HOME/.balsa/config

In my case it became
[FolderMRU]
MRUCount=2
MRU1=file:///home/ildar/Mail/_some_random_folder
MRU2=

dunno why and how it happened while upgrading to the recent GIT gtk3  
branch build.

Everything is fine after fix.

where is acrobat?

The default location for acoread used by Balsa does not correspond to 
my setup. Is this hardwired or is there a config somewhere?  Desktop is 
XFCE, and there's no system default.

Gtk3 branch changes

When you move a message from one folder to another, or change the folder where an Fcc: copy will be saved, you
are shown a list of the most recently used folders, with an option "Other..." at the foot. If you click
"Other...", a GtkDialog is popped up, showing the full mail folder tree. In the gtk3 branch, that dialog
has been an awkwardly small size. You can resize it, but the new size has never been saved. A recent commit
makes Balsa remember your preferred size.

Also, Balsa has always maintained one list of recent folders for *moving* messages, and a separate list for
*saving* Fcc: copies. Another recent commit, to the gtk3 branch only, removes that separation, so that a
combined list is updated and used for both purposes.

I hope you find these changes helpful!

Peter

Setting duration on input server

How do I set the duration, in days, that I want to keep POP3 mail on  
the server after having downloaded a copy?

Checking mbox for new mail fails - new insights

Hi,

as I reported earlier, the git-version (gtk3) of Balsa doesn't check my  
mbox file for new mail anymore - neither automatically nor if the  
'Check' button is pressed.

Now I've found out, that the following procedure does this checking  
though
it's tedious.

If I press the right mouse button on 'Inbox' and select 'Properties' a  
new window appears. If I change the 'Subscribe for new mail check'  
button (i.e. set to unset or unset to set), the 'Update' button becomes  
undimmed.
Now pressing this button does check for new mail in the Inbox and  
displays it.

Hopefully, this gives some pointers to where the problem might be.
I someone can tell where this checking is done I have a look at the  
sources myself.

Thanks,
Helmut.

IMAP authentication

I have been having problems getting balsa to open my 
IMAP mailbox.  I ran balsa -D and got

Status: Connected (1330918373)
IMAP S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 ID]
mail12c40 IMAP4rev1 Bigfoot
IMAP C: 1 AUTHENTICATE CRAM-MD5
IMAP S: + PDYzIuMTMzMDkcisdjkwdiojcskjNDAuY2FycmllcnpvbmUuY29tPg==
IMAP C: ZnJhbmtAbWVycmlsbdjcises82hnYFHC1zYW11ZWxzb24uY9tDIZTNcyOThjNDVhMmUyMzdhNGM3ZWY5
IMAP S: 1 NO AUTHENTICATE failed
IMAP S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 ID]
mail6c40 IMAP4rev1 Bigfoot

I noticed the "AUTHENTICATE CRAM-MD5", and think that this 
may be the problem because to get alpine to work with my 
email account I have to use 
disable-these-authenticators=CRAM-MD5

Is there a way to make balsa not use CRAM-MD5, only GSSAPI? 
Without recompiling, that is. Thanks for any help.

Search issue in 2.4.11

Hello,

I just discovered this, so although it may be a known issue, it really  
caused me to scratch my head for a few minutes.

If I set the search dropdown at the top of the message list to "Body  
Contains:" the search is NOT case sensitive.  However, if I type "/"  
and use the "Find:" field at the bottom of the message display, that  
search IS case sensitive.  Is this difference intentional?  I would  
expect both of them to NOT be case sensitive, but in any case I would  
think they should probably behave the same way.
