Thanks for going to the trouble of building a non-threaded  
version--I know it's a pain, and using the crippled version  
really reminds you how useful the threaded version is (especially  
now that it's reliable!).

Yes, that warning is pretty weird.  It arises in the POP3 server  
dialog: apparently Balsa thinks it's downloaded one message, but  
the temporary mailbox that holds downloaded messages is empty.  A  
simple test would avoid the specific action that raises that  
CRITICAL message, but the underlying cause is beyond my ken, and  
I hate to offer a bandaid for the symptom without diagnosing the  
cause.

If you run Balsa with the command-line option `-d', you'll get  
the POP3 server dialog echoed on the console.  Posting the result  
for a case where the CRITICAL warning is issued might help.

Best,

Peter
