        Hi,
the dialog itself works the same as "before". When there is nothing
happening it's hidden automatically. The quick flash you see means
there is nothing going on, thus there is nothing to cancel, thus the
dialog closes itself.

I do not know how you moved your data from one machine to another, but
I'd check how you check for new messages. Especially the "Check for new
messages in all folders" in the account Properties->Receiving Options
tab, might be of an interest. Maybe you had it enabled on the previous
install and it is disabled on the new install.

With respect of restoring the previous behaviour, the only reason why
the dialog shows up on the second click (not really double-click) is to
cover users like you, whom prefer to see it. To give you a way to have
the dialog, even it's not needed as such. Do not expect to add an
option to show the dialog on the first click.
        Bye,
        Milan
