Martin: I posted a number of issues some time back that I was having, and others that occurred when I tried to revert. I was finally able to figure it out and have successfully gone back. Before I did, what I was getting:

1) I didn't get the issue with notifications

2) I didn't have this problem either

3) I didn't try this one, so I can't say

What I did get was a lot of confusion regarding what was already downloaded mail, and what wasn't. Messages would get downloaded multiple times. Sometimes, they would get filtered into the appropriate folder, sometimes a duplicate would be downloaded and left in the inbox - (I was having to highlight new mail constantly, and do a 'Ctl-j' to run the filters manually, followed by going to each folder and running a 'Ctl-Shift-* to eliminate duplicates)- with over 40 folders, this got to be very tedious. Processing time started out terrible but seemed to improve with subsequent updates, but, the filtering/duplicate download problem never resolved - for now, I'm back to previous version, and KMail is working well again
