Derek, I appreciate the advice. Based upon the certainty with which you state it, it appears you know what I need to do. But I am not able to follow the instructions without more details.
Please understand that I am humbled by all these new Linux terms and concepts. I started using a computer some 20 years ago when everything was either DOS or Apple or TRS-80. I am now encountering the same frustration with the learning curve for Linux. And I have a greater appreciation for the problems facing those I try to teach how to use a Windows machines. What seems simple and obvious to me is not simple and obvious to them. Having said that, please address the following questions?

I have looked and looked but do not find any menu that says View>Show Hidden. Can you be more specific as to how to get to it? For example, let's say I have the desktop displayed. The K icon is in the lower left corner (that's Konqueror, right?). I click on it and that displays a long menu. What do I click on next to get to this function? >Navigate in your home directory to .kde/share/config After the previous step, will .kde/share/config be in the same menu or are there intermediate steps to get to it? >Right click on kmailrc and select an editor If there is more than one editor, which is most likely to be easiest for me to understand and use? >2/ Edit out the offending account, adjust the account numbers and save. When you say "edit out" shall I assume you mean "delete"? Or am I modifying something? I already have seen enough of Linux to anticipate that I probably will not know what file name or extension I am looking for. Can you be more specific? As for "adjust the account numbers", does that mean that there will be a prompt of some sort? iIf not how will I recognize what needs adjustment and how will i do that? >It will now be gone... > >If you simply cannot get it to work just delete the file. "the?" file. Can you tell me what that file name is? I don't doubt there will be many to choose from.
