Did you mean something else? 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. > Yes, I think Nigel got that right. (guessing the problem was a rule invoking a script) 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. > That is the whole point (almost) of IMAP.

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.
