While I think it was already happening in 1.4.7, the latest version seems unable to disconnect: when you check to retrieve new mail it does but then it remains "Disconnecting Persona" indefinitely. If I try to send (a message to myself) it behaves similarly: it engages in sending and the bullet wheel starts but never stops "Preparing to send". If I quit and restart I can retrieve and the message has been sent and received.

BTW, no advances in HTML handling: accented characters still a mess of the sort "La obtención de energía masiva mediante la Fusión Nuclear por Láser...".

And still no advances in attachments handling: very seldom, hardly ever, I can open an attached document be it .doc, .pdf, .jpg, etc.

Bug not fixed from previous version: mail left on server is re-downloaded every time mail is checked - so I had to turn off automatic mail checking, and even with checking once a day, I now have 10-15 copies of each message.
