initial thoughts on 2.1/HEAD - trouble checking mail and other problems

[Kacper Wysocki <kacperw online no>]

Cheers all,
so I finally checked out HEAD, and I generally like the improvements -  
but of course I wouldn't be writing home if I didn't run into hitches  
along the way. Here's what I had problems with:

'make install' the following trouble
/usr/bin/install: `./Balsa.idl' and `./Balsa.idl' are the same file
(full text attached)

For some reason, I couldn't check my mail. Sending worked, and so did  
an APOP account I rarely use, but the vanilla POP I'm currently mailing  
from, I keep getting these:
POP3 mailbox online error: -ERR authorization failed
This is the hitch that will keep me from using HEAD :-(

I got one of those "free(): invalid pointer 0x8574798!" messages on  
exit. What actually happened was that I exit balsa while a message was  
still open, and this message just hung instead of exiting along with  
the rest of balsa, giving the above error. I'll try my best to  
reproduce it.

Old mail with no subject gets consistently tagged as unread, and  
doesn't have an entry in the "From:" column until I actually open the  
message.

There was some discrepancy in the message sorting- initially, the mail  
boxen I opened would be sorted by subject, although the little arrow  
was in the 'Date:' column.

So, what is the best course of action here? Tomorrow I'll try wiping my  
config and configuring HEAD from scratch, mayhap it'll fix some of  
these problems.

Regards, and keep up the good work!
