It's been working fine for me after the update... netbsd-9 (amd64) with 
base X11.  I note that the icons changed, as did some of the colors used 
(e.g. when replying to email).  At one point I think it also decided to 
re-download all the mail in all folders, which was somewhat less than 
amusing, but didn't seem to break anything.
