When you say your main mailbox, do you mean inbox?  What type of  
mailbox is it?  mbox, maildir, MH, ...?  Are you having trouble just  
opening the local mailbox, or actually trying to sync with a remote  
server?  POP3 or IMAP?  You can also start balsa from the command line  
using -d (debug POP) or -D (debug IMAP) to get more information on what  
might be going wrong with syncing.
