Somehow the last build corrupted my local mail, moving the contents of 
the pop account to a new directory on the application drive, which was 
deleted along with everything else in order to unzip this build.

Opening mailnews the first time after a migrate continues to be a 
problem. Opening the mailnews task menu from the browser landed the 
mailnews window on top of SmartCentre (bug 
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67913>), so I immediately 
grabbed it and moved it off where it should never be permitted to place 
itself. This initially pegged the activity meter, then left the desktop 
apparently lifeless. The clock & activity meter were stopped, though 
mouse pointer would move, and the mailnews window's status bar was 
corrupted.

I hit Ctrl-Esc, and up popped not only the tasklist, but also the 
password dialog for retrieving mail. Now the desktop was back to normal.

If first open of mailnews after migrate did not automatically try to 
fetch mail this fubar focus/lockup would not happen.

Also, mailnews should not automatically expand all folders. I think part 
of the focus problem is Mozilla gets confused and/or overthreaded trying 
to establish connections with all six news servers at the same time it 
is trying to fetch the mail I didn't ask it to fetch.
