Thanks. To be able to send from PowerMail, I changed the outgoing server from "smtp.me.com" to "outgoing.verizon.net" and used my Verizon user name and password. I changed it to what you recommended and that also works. I have left Mail alone since it never had a problem on my Mac. It happens to be set to port 993. I used First Aid, got some DB error messages: "Class=DB ;what=100; err=130," but the DB is rebuilt, etc., etc. and PM is no longer trying to send deleted messages. Thanks, everyone, for the help!!!
