I'm trying to debug this, and in check_new_messages_real in 
main-window.c, I'm unable to see what's in list after the call to 
gtk_tree_model_foreach.  That may simply be because I don't know what 
I'm doing, but it does look like there should be something there.  I 
upgraded gtk+ from 3.24.31 to 3.24.34 a few days ago, but don't see 
anything relevant in the change log.  Am I barking up the right tree, 
and am I even in the right forest?

I've also tried setting a breakpoint on several different pop3 related 
functions, none of which are reached by trying to check for mail.  It 
almost feels as if something has gotten disconnected, but I don't see 
anything amiss in the configuration.
