Balsa can certainly read the messages:

thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ head -20 .balsa/config

[mailbox-Inbox]
Path=/var/mail/thufir
Type=LibBalsaMailboxMbox
Name=Inbox

[mailbox-Outbox]
Path=/home/thufir/Maildir/outbox
Type=LibBalsaMailboxMbox
Name=Outbox

[mailbox-Sentbox]
Path=/home/thufir/Maildir/sentbox
Type=LibBalsaMailboxMbox
Name=Sentbox

[mailbox-Draftbox]
Path=/home/thufir/Maildir/draftbox
Type=LibBalsaMailboxMbox
Name=Draftbox
thufir at dur:~$ 


but it would be nice to get thunderbird reading these messages 
correctly.  See:
