I have just revisited Mail settings and realized that each account has to be configured separately (done now). Thanks for your help.

BTW - You log in to Gmail only once a week? I think I want to wean myself away from gmail but I'm finding it difficult.

Keeping the had drive running resolved the issue although I still don'r know what caused it.

thanks for all the responses.

I had the habit, from OS/2 days, of strictly organizing my folders, including programs, music and so on. After running into some gotchas, I decided to always use the system default and, where necessary, use aliases to organize my way.

I was going to say, "I hesitate to point out the obvious..." but in fact I relish doing just that:

MacOS X is not OS/2.
Screwing around with the built-in file structure accomplishes what screwing around often does: getting all f***'d up.
