This is version 1.4 of Mozilla.  It is a pop3 account w/ COmcast. 
Problem was solved by completely shutting down Moz and restarting.  I 
don't like to do this, because it is so slow to restart, but also 
because I tend to keep a lot of tabs open for the many things I'm 
looking at or researching at the time.  It's always a hassle to restart 
the browser.  I do like having one browser window rather than multiple 
ones that you have to resize each and close for each, etc.

So, problem solved.
