There are a large number of really nice online resources for absolutely free training for the Macintosh. Many of them are provided by Apple. (You don't have to do all of these, of course. Just have a look at a few and decide on which one's appear to be most helpful to you.)

Thanks, all, for the suggestions and support. I think I finally got it by clicking on the arrow at the top of mailboxes (left side.) That brings up the list of my email accounts, and I can click on each one individually to get the mail for that list.
I already had set up all accounts, they were just coming up under smart mailboxes. Never did figure out how to find "help," but my intro class is tomorrow -- I've made a list of questions :-)
Overall, I am loving it, but it is a learning curve. I still have my PC laptop set up and look forward to retiring it to a shelf to be brought out only when needed for Quicken.
Thanks again,
Carol

All apps have their own Help. You'll find it in the menu bar at the top of
the screen.

Howdy.
You need to create 6 separate email accounts in your Apple Mail
program.
Then look at Mail > Preferences and Rules. Learn to create
Rules/filters to further automatically sort incoming mail into sub
folders that you create.
You can also create Smart Folders in Finder and Mail and in other
programs. A Smart Folder (or mailbox) has a rule or set of rules
attached to it and these are always active so when you click the smart
mailbox or smart folder to look at it it's updated instantly. Files
are not moved into a smart folder but it shows instant links.
Remember that if you sat down in front of a 1984 Macintosh you would be
immediately at home using it. The 1984 Macintosh Finder and operating
system was so good and so advanced that it has not changed, and has not
need to change except incrementally since then. This couldn't even be
conceived on a Windows system.
Also note that Macintosh tends to be a document centric system while
Windows tends to be an application centric system.
Good luck!
And, you are welcome to message me directly with Mac use questions.

Cool, thanks. I like document-centric. Not sure how to do what you suggest, but I will work on it. I did set up my accounts and have figured out, with help from this list, how to separate them, so I'm pretty happy right now.
Thanks again,

You can always open more than one image, but it sounded like the OP & D Dan were clicking on one image and have multiple images open in Preview. And Dan was asking when it changed.

Otto,
When I reset the TC password back to the original the AE joined the network, ie. still had the old password - I expected that to have been lost with the "factory reset"

From the Mac Newby again -- I'm looking for a good word processing program and have gotten a lot of suggestions, from Pages, Word, Scrivener, and some free programs. What do you all find the most useful? Pages sounds good because I can get it also on my iPads. However, some have said that if you have to communicate with people in the PC world, you also need Word. I am a sometime writer.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Carol

Pages is good but not as powerful as Word if you need pro-level features
(such as edit tracking for authors), but you can send Pages can read and
write files in Word format.
If you need only a basic text editor, then Text Edit, which comes with OS
X, will do.

Scrivener is not a word processing program, it is a writing program. I have been using it for years an there is nothing else available that comes near to Scrivener for writers. The support is the best I have ever encountered and the tutorials available are superb. I am not connected to Literature & Latte. Just a very satisfied user.

Thanks. I am a sometime fiction writer, formerly news reporter, now retired, thus my interest in Scrivener. It may be more than I need, however. Or not. But apparently I would at least need another program for letters, other documents, etc.
Everything I have done so far has been in Word on PC, but reviews of Word for Mac are not that flattering.
Pages sounded interesting because I can also get it on my iPad, and thus work when away from home. Also, it is quite inexpensive, even if purchased for both desktop and iPad.
Thanks, lots to consider. I haven't had this beastie for an entire week, yet. Class tomorrow.

Frankly, if your needs are very limited the built-in TextEdit might serve your purposes sufficiently.
