[Note this has been sitting in my outbox for several days, because it
turns out I had NOT yet tested sending. Once I get this actually sent,
I'll hopefully be able to summarize what the problem was and how I
fixed it. Fingers crossed.]

In 2013, one of the develors said: "At one time Balsa would
rethread on every mailbox change, and it was intrusive, so it was
decided to defer it; evidently, it's now deferred too long! One
issue is that it's difficult to rethread in a sub-thread because of
the display interactions. We need to revisit that."
I think it simply hasn't been revisited yet. Not sure how to push
it higher on the list, unless one of the developers happens to be
interested.
Well, I guess replacing libesmtp is more important right now -- that
concerns core functionality, the sorting is a minor issue in this
light.
Well, the libesmtp replacement is in for testing... I'm not sure if
it's really complete, but at least I got no complaints yet. It will
be *really* helpful if you check the latest git code and give
feedback, about both the smtp functionality and the changed config
gui.
I've been running a newly compiled version from git head for several
hours, with no problems I can see. I only send to three smtp servers
(yahoo, frontier, and gmail) so I don't do anything fancy. I also use
popfile as my spam filter, so I'm not sure if the pipelining stuff is
something I can test or not. As it is, I can't check the SSL box, I
have to include :ssl as part of the username, since the server is
always localhost.
And I fully agree with you that the broken sorting/threading is
really annoying, and should be fixed! Such an important issue being
postponed for 3 or 4 years is not acceptable.
I'm sure patches would be welcome, but it's a bit beyond my
abilities.
Beyond mine, too, I'm afraid. Getting new versions and complaining
(i.e. writing bug reports) is what I could do. :-)
For me too. I didn't write the code, and I don't know who actually
added (or disabled) it. Maybe Peter knows more? Peter, are you
listening?
Cheers,
Albrecht.
