In other words, you are fine. Upgrading to Premium is optional.

But "pro" used to be the top version - I upgraded FROM premium - now they are saying that "premium" is the top version

Did they say that you were always going to get the 'top version' for life? You are getting the product for which you paid. Would you have been happier if they called the new product "Oceanic" rather than "Premium"?
The point is that you can continue using what you have and it will be maintained. Not bad for £6, eight years later. You are doing fine. Don't make yourself feel dissatisfied by being greedy.

Just saw this, the point is that you now need to pay more for things that used to be included in your payment. This is the second time Aquamail have pulled this trick and people are rightly upset.

I agree and this appears to be general feeling on aquamail forum

Aquamail forum users are rightly pizzed off too

What makes paying this £6 for the pro version better than the free version, genuinely don't know would like to know though?

Would thunderbird do what you need? It's free

I personally will never pay for upgraded versions more often than not there are free versions that do a very similar job

£6 buys a complete office pro set up including outlook, word, excel, access, publisher and others - £0 does not even buy you outlook - it buys you thunderbird !

Believe it or not - Aqua Mail is now looking for 9p from me - in order to keep Aqua Mail "pro"

On principle I refuse to pay !

Really? Did you migrate or are you stubbornly refusing to do anything?
AFAIK they are refunding any migration cost: https://www.aqua-mail.com/blog/android/important-announcement-concerning-the-aqua-mail-unlocker-pro/
