Problem solved. Local misconfig indeed.

I checked for balsa, but not balsa-ab.

Thanks.

Looks very much like a local misconfiguration.
Please show us:
$ which balsa-ab
and
$ find /usr -name balsa-ab

Balsa is a GNOME email client which supports mbox, maildir, and mh
local mailboxes, and IMAP4 and POP3 remote mailboxes. Email can be
sent via sendmail or SMTP. Optional multithreading support allows for
non-intrusive retrieval and sending of mail. A finished GUI similar to
that of the Eudora email client supports viewing images inline, saving
message parts, viewing headers, adding attachments, moving messages,
and printing messages.

Balsa is built wrong. Please provide us with:

Re: Address book editor

Geoffrey Leach — 2012-05-16T16:45:28

Same thing.

geoff< at >puget[10]-> ldd /usr/bin/balsa-ab|grep gmime
libgmime-2.6.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmime-2.6.so.0 (0x426f5000)

This is the Fedora 16 Disto. Reinstall of balsa did not improve the 
situation.

You may have hit on the problem. Balsa's Build Date  : Tue 22 Nov 2011 
02:20:36 PM PST while gmime-devel was built earlier - Fri 17 Jun 2011 
06:44:17 AM PDT

So its clearly a build problem. Who needs the bug report?

Balsa can use gmime 2.4 or 2.6, but it picks one at compile time.   
However, try "ldd /usr/bin/balsa-ab" since it looks like that's the one  
actually throwing the error.  What distro are you on, and have you  
tried re-installing balsa?

I'm not trying to build.  When I go to File->Address Book->Run Editor, 
Balsa says: 

balsa-ab: error while loading shared libraries: libgmime-2.4.so.2: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

OTOH, ldd /usr/bin/balsa|grep gmime says

libgmime-2.6.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmime-2.6.so.0 (0x426f5000)

So I don't understand.  FWIW, locate libgmime says
    /usr/lib/libgmime-2.6.so.0
    /usr/lib/libgmime-2.6.so.0.508.0

Are you trying to build a package?  If so it works best to 
grab the Fedora source rpms and work from there.  The 
dependencies all work.

The address book editor appears to require libgmime-2.4.so.2. Is there 
a reason for the particular choice of version? Fedora ships 2.5.8

I'm not aware of any source code differences that would make the branch less well translated than master. I do see more translator commits to master than to the branch--perhaps it's just stale. Can you give an example of an untranslated item?

gtk3 branch internationalization ?

Helmut Jarausch — 2012-05-04T08:00:11

Hi,

I'm using the gtk3 git branch of Balsa here.
Unfortunately it doesn't respect the LANG environment variable  
completely.
Some submenu are in the language specified by the LANG environment  
variable while other parts
are still in English.

Am I missing something, or is it a known bug?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Re: JFYI: sent folder FCC wrong

Peter Bloomfield — 2012-04-14T00:34:10

Ahh...my fault.  When you move one or messages to a folder, Balsa adds it  
to a "most-recently-used" list, and offers them in the "move to" submenu.   
Likewise, when you set the fcc box to some folder, it is added to a  
"m-r-u" list, and Balsa offers that list in the drop-down menu.  In the  
past, those have been separate lists.  A recent commit replaced them by a  
single list, updated when you access a folder either by moving messages to  
it or setting it as the fcc box.  You must have moved one or more messages  
to _some_random_folder, which was then added to the fcc list, and became  
the default destination for fcc copies.

The reason for dropping separate lists is that they can be clumsy.  I'd  
reply to a mail in my inbox, setting the fcc copy to a relevant folder,  
then file the mail in the same folder, so it seemed convenient to have  
that folder in the m-r-u list for moving.  With separate lists, I'd often  
have to choose "other" in both drop-downs, and negotiate the whole mailbox  
tree twice.

But your use case highlights an issue: moving messages to a folder  
shouldn't make it the default fcc box, though perhaps setting the a folder  
as the fcc box should make it the first choice for moving messages.  I'll  
revert the change and rethink the issue.

Best,

Peter

JFYI: sent folder FCC wrong

Ildar Mulyukov — 2012-04-13T11:33:53

Hi!

to anyone who misses his/her sent mail:
it could drop into some other then "Sent" folder. Look here:
$ grep MRU1= $HOME/.balsa/config

In my case it became
[FolderMRU]
MRUCount=2
MRU1=file:///home/ildar/Mail/_some_random_folder
MRU2=

dunno why and how it happened while upgrading to the recent GIT gtk3  
branch build.

Everything is fine after fix.

Re: where is acrobat?

Ildar Mulyukov — 2012-04-10T03:07:11

This is your desktop system setting and is setup outside Balsa. Seek  
for MIME settings.
P.S. give EVINCE a try.

Hi Geoffrey!

Balsa uses the GAppInfo API to create the menu that offers actions for  
attachments. Balsa itself knows nothing about the type of an attachment,  
nor about the appropriate app for accessing it. I believe that GAppInfo  
gets the information from .desktop files, so I'm guessing that acroread  
either doesn't come with one, or it's broken. A quick fix might be to  
symlink the real binary to whatever path Balsa tries to use, if you know  
what it is. The real fix, I suppose, would be for someone to package the  
reader with a correct .desktop file.

where is acrobat?

Geoffrey Leach — 2012-04-10T01:42:27

The default location for acoread used by Balsa does not correspond to 
my setup. Is this hardwired or is there a config somewhere?  Desktop is 
XFCE, and there's no system default.

Gtk3 branch changes

Peter Bloomfield — 2012-03-27T22:28:31

When you move a message from one folder to another, or change the folder where an Fcc: copy will be saved, you are shown a list of the most recently used folders, with an option "Other..." at the foot. If you click "Other...", a GtkDialog is popped up, showing the full mail folder tree. In the gtk3 branch, that dialog has been an awkwardly small size. You can resize it, but the new size has never been saved. A recent commit makes Balsa remember your preferred size.

Also, Balsa has always maintained one list of recent folders for *moving* messages, and a separate list for *saving* Fcc: copies. Another recent commit, to the gtk3 branch only, removes that separation, so that a combined list is updated and used for both purposes.

I hope you find these changes helpful!

Is there a way to see the dialog with an outgoing smtp server (like "balsa
