The migration is 98% complete, so that's a big relief.  (Maybe more -  
I'm just allowing that I probably forgot something.)

The spontaneous fetch has stopped, I have no idea why it started or why  
it stopped.

This is still the case, and I found an additional annoyance.  If all  
threads are collapsed, I have a message near the bottom of the message  
list selected, and I hit Ctl-E to expand all threads, all of a sudden,  
I am up near the top of the message list.  I suspect if I was on the  
N'th entry, I am now still on the N'th entry - but it had been only  
counting threads, and now it is counting all messages.  Is there any  
reasonably easy way to have it scroll so the selected item/message is  
still in the middle of the displayed section?

Still the case.
