You can find RH7.x builds of libesmtp at ftp.chbm.nu
libesmtp >= 0.8.6
The requirement for "libesmtp >= 0.8.6” is the only thing keeping me from trying out balsa. This seems like a very high requirement for a production release. RedHat 7.3 still comes with 0.8.4.
odd...
I'm sure I've done something wrong, but I'm currently running 1.2.3,and wanted to run 1.2.4, but I get this error: libesmtp >= 0.8.6 is needed by balsa-1.2.4-1. So I go install libesmtp-0.8.11, but it still doesn't work. I don't want to install 0.8.6 due to buffer leaks in that version. Any ideas? Keep up the great work, Balsa is my favorite mail program! :)
Not finishing initial configuration
Hi
I have downloaded both the source and the rpm for balsa 0.81 and in both cases it compiles successfully and installs.
Now when I launch it for the first time it goes into a configuration window where to enter personal information and on the second screen the location of the default mail files.
Now when I click on Next the window is empty with just the Back and the Cancel button active.
Any hint's/ideas why I can't get further?
Thanks
Serge
pop3 support please?
as most ISPs use pop3 instead of IMAP why not get the pop3 code out of beta? This is suppose to be the gnome mail UA?
when? in 2003?
