Press F10 to activate the main menu bar if it is not already visible. On the tools menu select activity manager. Now you can read those messages. Or the important ones at least.

What I was hoping to get was the real time messages as I had in all previous TBirds that described what it was doing, for example, "downloading 25 messages" etc while it was doing it and that it stayed long enough in the status bar that there was time to read it. Now, it seems to erratically print something in the status bar while it is doing it but it disappears before there is time to read it and before the downloads, etc, are complete. The F10 did drop a box with the last 10 or so activities that it did but this is after the fact. Also, the message in the status bar disappeared in the past when the action was complete so I knew if the downloads had completed. Now I have to guess.
