Thank you for the links, at this point I am ready to try anything.
I don't understand why a persons mail should be so hard to get to.

I apologize for how much time it is taking me.

It should not be hard.
Try setting up a new Identity and then use Tools | Accounts to set up a mail
account per your ISP's instructions.

I cannot conceive of a reason for the DBX file you mentioned.
