Hi Pawel,

Ubuntu "Dapper Drake" ships Balsa 2.3.8, yes, but more recent versions 
like "Edgy Eft" or "Feisty Fawn" ship 2.3.13.

Since Dapper Drake is LTS (long term support), I believe it might be 
possible to ask for the backporting of 2.3.13. To whoever asked the 
original question, please check https://launchpad.net/dapper-backports

But it's extremely easy to self compile Balsa on a Dapper Drake box (in 
fact I'm writing from such a box with the latest SVN head):

# apt-get build-dep balsa

Now you have everything you need, just grab the source from Balsa's 
homepage, untar, ./configure with the appropriate options and make.

For reference, I believe that Ubuntu's Balsa is built with --disable-
smime --with-compface --with-gpgme --with-gss --with-gtkspell --with-
ldap --with-sqlite --with-ssl


Hope this helps.
