No, there are no mails from my Local/Sent folder from my AOL address.
They never made it that far. Each time time I tried to send a message
from my AOL account, it never got farther thatn the "Outbox" and stayed
there. There wre a bunch, so I deleted them. Probably not a good idea,
but I was afraid that if I got the situation unblocked, I might flood
the reciptients with multiple useless e-mails.

Anyway, after deleting the messages from the "Outbox," eliminating the
":587", and then shutting down and rebooting <grin>, I can compose and
send e-mails normally with my POP mail accounts. But I can't send from
my AOL account.

Agreed. I guess I've "vented" sufficiently/excessively about AOL ...
