Balsa is a graphical mail client. It supports the standard features of any good reader and has new features added continually. See the abstract above for a quick feature rundown.

Balsa is written using GTK+ and GNOME. Originally based on libmutt, the back end code to Mutt, Balsa now uses a combination of GMime for handling Mime messages, and its own drivers for local and remote mailstores.

If you want to learn more about Balsa, your best bet is GNOME Discourse. Bugs can be reported to the Gnome bug tool.
