Correct.  Here's where I came in.

eddie wasn't talking about any email account.  eddie was talking about
the web reporting page.

Later on, eddie had this to say

However, my theory about what is wrong is different from eddie's;  but
then I'm way outside of that loop and just hypothesizing without any way
of testing my hypothesis, so that's not very useful.

However, I'm still of the opinion that eddie's problem is no different
from the problem I encountered with my pw not sticking and my theory is
that it has nothing to do with the mail gizmo's inability to communicate
with the web reporting gizmo -- if there is any such thing.
