This is a maintenance release to solve some problems I had with this 
great app.
There are some minor changes in GNUMail (like a dot at AppIcon when 
GNUMail is hidden),
but there are two important major changes.
These are:

* With some SMTP servers, Pantomime don't work as expected. The SMTP
connection died before get the supported transports mechanism. This 
crash
GNUMail. In other cases the SMTP don't get the supported transports 
mechanism
at first chance (or even at second chance). So you need click several 
times at
corresponding button to get these. This is confusing for the user. 
Since I don't
understand Pantomime and I don't know anything about mail protocols, I 
added
a hack to prevent this (Maybe an ugly hack).

* In "Compose" window I removed the option to select the SMTP host to 
send
the email. For me this can cause errors. For example my "xelalug.org" 
mail account
uses GMAIL technology, so it's uses smtp.gmail.com. My Gmail account 
uses,
of course, smtp.gmail.com also. This is sincronized automatically for 
GNUMail.
But GNUMail don't handle consistently the information of an account. 
So If I don't
put attention I can send an email from "xelalug.org" using the SMTP 
information of
my Gmail account. At the end I receive an email in my Gmail account 
that is sent
from my Gmail account, not from "xelalug.org". On the other hand I 
don't see the
utility of this option.


You can found it at Wiki page:
