Scott should try Thunderbird. It may not be finished but it's based on the rock-solid Mozilla MailNews backend and while the interface (the new parts) isn't yet complete, it's definitely in better shape, and more capable, than Balsa. I've been using it as my primary email and newsgroup client for a while now and haven't experienced any significant problems.

On Windows it already is my the default email cliet.
