I think it is because /var/mail is a symbolic link to /var/spool/mail, and /var/spool/mail doesn't exist.
reassigning this to stroke because he was the one who fixed it last time :)
Taking a hint from Tristan I created /var/mail on my system ( I did not have /var/mail or /var/spool/mail so I just created /var/mail ). Balsa will now compile with out the libmutt error.
Fixed ("workarounded") again in balsa-2.0.1-r1
