When you go and fetch mail from your gmail account then balsa hangs. A working solution is posted here ( http://www.mail-archive.com/balsa-list@gnome.org/msg00024.html ) Is is possible to have a patch for this? p.s. there are also several new versions of balsa, on 2005-05-08 they released 2.3.2
thanks for doing the extra research, patch is now in 2.2.6-r1. we usually do not add development series to the tree, that is why the 2.3.x series has not been added. Thanks!
