Hi Steffen!

For local mailboxes, Balsa from cvs now saves a time-stamp for  
the mailbox as well as the message counts, so mailbox changes  
since the last session should be detected the first time the  
mailbox is checked.  I don't have the kind of delivery you  
use--could you test it?

Hi Mişu!

IMAP mailboxes are a bit more of a problem.  IMAP servers have a  
mechanism for detecting changes, but the overhead (a STATUS  
request) is essentially the same as checking the mailbox, so your  
best solution is probably to check "Check IMAP mailboxes" and  
uncheck "Check INBOX only".
