The latest is 3.1.1 (stable) released on may 6 of this year.
there were a few other betas between that and what you have, yes.

Hey, just a thought; why not try out Claws mail, the 'new and improved'
Sylpheed?

From:
http://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/General_Information

What are the differences between Claws Mail and Sylpheed?

Claws Mail (formerly Sylpheed-Claws) started as the bleeding-edge
version of Sylpheed, in order to act as a testbed for new features for
Sylpheed. The idea was to regularly resync with Hiroyuki's main branch,
and vice-versa. Claws Mail then evolved into the stable extended
version of Sylpheed, and is now an entity in its own right, mainly due
to different goals and the fact that syncing both codebases doesn't
happen anymore.

Claws Mail has many extra features compared to Sylpheed and is more
powerful, yet is just as fast, lightweight and stable. 

Just a suggestion.
