[»] libesmtp >= 0.8.6
by Myok - May 17th 2002 12:46:11


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.

    You can find RH7.x builds of libesmtp at ftp.chbm.nu

[»] odd...
by intervox - Mar 31st 2002 12:40:38

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
by Serge - Jul 4th 2000 17:31:14

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?
by PimpSmurf - Jul 3rd 2000 14:00:13

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? PimpSmurf

[»] libPropList.so.0, missing? Even after compiled?
by Gene - Jan 18th 2000 22:09:11

I installed it all at work today, and had to make a softlink from where the
install script put it to the /lib dir. Then it ran just fine except for the go-round trying to actually make it send a message you *thought* you
had told it to send. Did anybody else ever here of 'committing' the message to actually get it sent? Huh? Me neither.

Other than that little bit of nit-picking, it seemed to work ok. I have to admit that I am spoiled though, coming into linux by looking for an email agent as good as the Amiga's THOR. Thats a swiss army knife, doing it all, including news.
