It continues to work.

In additional good news, for completely separate reasons, I have  
started to use Wayland instead of X11, and it seems (not enough  
experience to be sure) that the lengthy delays I seem to get when  
receiving mail are much less.  However, I discovered the same sort of  
delay when using a filter "Body contains" in the main window (filtering  
2527 messages down to 6) and that is similar in X11 and Wayland.  No,  
it doesn't make much sense to me either.
