 Hey, Balsa is great, in that it uses Unix mbox, and you can use procmail
 with it.
 It shouldn't be orphaned, if it's tue, what a shame!

  I mean the debian package seems to be not taken care of, not balsa
itself. there are quite a few bug (lot of them 1+ year old), it's not
even installable (in unstable) - that's an 2+ months old bug (depends on
non-existing library):

  balsa: Depends: libltdl0 but it is not installable

Yes balsa is a great program and should not be orphaned and if nobody is
interesting in packaging it, I would certainly ITP it soon.

By the way, I build on a nearly daily bases debian package from cvs. You
can find my packages at the following url :

mutt is a very good choice, unless you absolutely must have a
graphical mailer. It supports most mail protocols and mailbox formats,
including IMAP and SSL.

 Yes balsa is a great program and should not be
 orphaned and if nobody is interesting in packaging
 it, I would certainly ITP it soon.

Certainly doesn't look like it's been abandoned. This page,
http://www.balsa.net/main.html, shows an update on the 13th of
this month. It reads:

2001-07-13 - development balsa 1.1.7 released. This is most
likely last 1.1.x development release, we intend to start soon
preparation for 1.2.0 release. Several improvements in IMAP
folder handling has been done, new command line options have
been added and other UI improvements have been implemented.

Hall

I believe that Erik said Orphaned from a packaging point of view.
Balsa is in fact in a high development rate.
It's a great mail client.

fetchmail + mozilla (since you are already using mozilla)

Mozilla does support IMAP but I don't know about SSL.
