That's it!  The setting in options/Preference/System/Mail directory points to 
\\Desktop A\c\MAIL\

Changing the location fixed the problem!  This, however, leaves me with a few 
questions:

1.  If the e-mail client and data files are on "B", but 
Options/Preferences/System points to "A," how is what is on "A" being 
functionally used?   

2. When in Options/Preferences/System on B and pointed to the data directory on 
B, a pop-up dialogue box listed all the data files on A, including so-called 
"cache" files I don't even see on A and asked if I wanted to overwrite the 
files on B and if so, to highlight the file and then tap the space bar for each 
file on A that I wanted to overwrite on B.   Since the most current files were 
on B, I didn't do this.   However, is this an easy way to copy data files from 
one computer to another?   When I moved the data files to B, I copied and 
pasted the files over our home network from A to B and then changed the 
properties for each account.   Would this have been done automatically just by 
changing the location in Options/Preferences/System?    And, if so, does that 
MOVE the files from A to B or does it just COPY them from A to B?

Thanks, again, Miguel, for your help!
