<title>It's not Working!!!</title>
<p>This is a FAQ for when &Balsa; appears to lock up, or
other things that you think should be happening aren't. If you
can't figure out how to do something but &Balsa; lets you do
it, that's a bug. Report it.</p>

<p>Odds are it isn't. Watch out for:</p>
<list>
<item>
<p>If you don't have threading, &Balsa; will stop
responding when it sends and receives email. Use threading,
if possible.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>&Balsa; is downloading a new message or closing a
large mailbox. This could take a while, especially when
this file is accessed via NFS.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>A dialog box is being displayed but it is obscured by
another one. This seems to happen under Sawfish. Try moving
the windows around and see if there's a hidden dialog
somewhere.</p>

<title>What's that window that flashed on the screen?</title>
<p>Were you checking your mail? Probably. This is the window
that displays progress for retrieving &POP3; mail. If you
don't have any &POP3; accounts, it will still appear -- but
it'll disappear almost instantly. You can disable displaying
this window in preferences.</p>

<section id="address-book">
<title>The address book doesn't import my addresses.</title>
<p>&Balsa; attempts to open the file
<file>~/.gnome/GnomeCard.gcrd</file>. If you're not using this
file, you may need to create a symlink so that &Balsa; can
open it.</p>
<p>There have been slight changes in &GnomeCard;'s file
format between its various versions. &Balsa; is known to
work with at least &GnomeCard; version 1.0.10 and probably
most other releases.</p>
