I just look at the balsa "screenshots". I do like what I see there,
so it is now on the list, thanks for that nomination.
What flags for the balsa software do you set?
Most of the time, I actually compile it myself, applying some personal
patches to modify the logging. I did that to help track down an
obscure crash I sometimes get, and haven't bother to revert it yet. In
terms of USE flags: "emerge -p balsa" says I would have crypt and
libnotify on, and all others off. I definitely have -gnome set
globally. You likely want crypt to get the gnupg stuff. I can't
remember if I used gnome-keyring (I think not) but I'm now not sure
where it stores it's passwords otherwise. I can't remember what is
used if you have -webkit. The others seem pretty obvious.
The only current issue I see is that portage only has only 2.5.6-r1,
but 2.6.1 is out. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/698670 and
https://bugs.gentoo.org/725910 for more on that.
