Check your account settings again. Since 2.6, the "secure connection"
options nor finally do state, what they provide. Though updating should
not change anything, since nothing changed under the hood. This merely
was a clean-up of the UI.

Note, that SSL and TLS are now mentioned explicitly in the UI, and they
don't use the same port. The default port for IMAPS (IMAP over SSL) is
933, while IMAP with TLS uses port 143, which is the same as plain IMAP.
If you happen to use a different port than this on your server, you can
provide the (non-default) port by adding it to the server, separated by
a colon:

  imap.server.net:993

However, specifying the port is not necessary, when using the default
port for the (secure) connection.

Hmm, reminds me of the Caret Mode also...

If you happen to have enabled Caret Mode (possibly by hitting F7
accidentally) and don't need it, try *dis*abling it.

You don't happen to still have a search active, do you?
