I did that. At first it caused by INBOX/Trash/Drafts/Sent
folders to become visible as seperate mailservers under
Preferences -> Mailservers, which was weird. After that I
had to remove :993 from those folders one by one by
right-clicking on the folders and selecting properties.

After that, the INBOX/Trash/Drafts/Sent folders were gone
from Preferences -> Mailservers and they also appeared
under the standard "imap server" tree in the mailbox list
instead of being listed seperately.

And indeed, now I can turn on/off SSL without balsa hanging.

Perhaps Balsa should remove :993 automatically when SSL
is used (likewise :143 when SSL isn't turned on), that
would make things more logical for those migrating from
2.0 to 2.2

One weird thing though: when I turned off SSL, the tree view
of the Mailbox listing collapsed, I had to expand the
subfolders that I wanted to see again manually. Somehow the
prefs setting got confused I guess.

Still have to enter the password 5 times though .. so that
wasn't related.
