Folks, I moved to v115.5.1 (from 102.5.1) on Dec. 2. Below, are issues I have encountered.

1. Messages being downloaded when they should not.

On Dec. 11,  I found that 414 messages had been downloaded to an account that is set to download nothing.  The following server settings are NOT checked:  Check for new messages at startup, Check for new messages every n minutes, and Automatically download new messages.  The messages were from as far back as Oct. 11, 2023.  In another account, messages from 2016, 2017, etc. were downloaded.  In the version 102 this never happened. 

Why this happened: When “Get Messages” is selected, messages in ALL accounts are attempted to be downloaded. This is a MAJOR deviation from version 102. In version 102, only the selected account would be processed. - NOT all accounts!!! For me, this makes the Get Messages function unusable and a noteworthy problem.

2. Does not return to previously selected message.

When moving back to a previously selected account folder and message, the message is not selected.  It lands on the account but not the message.  This is a very handy placeholder when moving between folders.

3. Message is not displayed . When selecting a folder for the first time in the session the contents for the first message are not displayed. Most often it is the message that needs to be seen. Again, a deviation from v.102.

Regards, Roger

How is 115.5.2?

It has issues. Some are minor (cosmetic) and others are not (like mine). If you are contemplating moving from v102, wait longer. It needs more time to get the 'big' stuff resolved.

An update: I have discovered a workaround (feature? ha ha) to #1, above. Do a right-click on the account name and a side window is displayed. Click on the first choice of ‘Get Messages’ and it will be processed for ONLY the selected account.
