Oops. I didn't explain myself completely enough. As a means of carrying the
main identity folder from one computer to another, I have sometimes dragged
it to the DeskTop of a portable FireWire drive, but when I'm actually
RUNNING Entourage, the Main Identity is lodged securely in its default
position.

Indeed, that WAS the problem. I never turned off the SpamSieve rules even
though I'm not really using it. I deselected those rule/script combos, and
now I retrieve my mail without fits and starts.

Obviously I made some stupid assumptions about IMAP just being a remote
repository for mail sent to me rather than both incoming and mail
originating from me. My ISP doesn't offer IMAP, but they're wonderful in so
many other respects that I'll put up with things as they are under POP3,
expecially now that I suddenly can read my mail expeditiously.
