If you dont have /var/mail or ~/.balsa on the first setup you get an error that says: Problem Creating Mailboxes Couldn't create a directory: mkdir() failed on pathname "/var/mail". wtf? why a user program would ever try to create a directory there?
The "Mail Files" page of the first-time assistant has been reworked so that the user can't go on to the final page without verifying that all of the paths will actually work. That should make it much harder, if not impossible, for the user to find Balsa starting up with a broken set of mailboxes, NULL pointers to dereference, and all the rest. If a path points to a non-existent file in a part of the file system where the user has no write permission, the "mkdir" error will probably still be shown, but that seems appropriate :) Best, Peter
