O.K. It's POP
Next problem -----
renamed Users/chuck/Library/Mail/Mailboxes --> U../c../L../M../
MailboxesX
and U../c../L../POP-cad...... ---> U../c../L../POPX-cad......
Which should have taken care of that part of the problem.

Then moved the folders and contents to a different HD [not just a
different partition.]
Emptied Trash, Re-Start, still No Joy.
***********************END NEW***********************
Then comes the rub ---
Still can't open Mail [Necessary to do the account changing.]
????????

The solution ---- Brute force,and a larger hammer !!!!!
I.E. I started moving things FROM the 'Home' directory till it
finally let 'mail' start.
NOW all I need to do is to remember where all the stuff goes back
to. ;-(

Mail refuses to open. Claims the 'Home' directory is too full. No
room to index mail.
I have deleted/ moved files in the 'user' 'account' directory (now
less than 16 entries)
Tried Re-Booting, Safe Boot, still no joy.
HELP Presently using a 'backup' laptop.
Silly quesion, you emptied trash, there really IS enough room on
the Mac?
This POP or IMAP mail? If it's IMAP, just delete the account and re-
add it. If pop, move the mail-containing folders aside, drop
account, re-add account and import old mail.
(Reason 3,456 why I LOVE LOVE LOVE IMAP mail accounts.)
