# Εισαγωγή

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.
