Gary,
Thanks for all your help. I created the new account and that got a new email
through. Apparently I had an email stuck in the outbox that appeared to be
blocking all outgoing messages. Winmail sent the message on the new account
but did not send the messages from the old account. I was able to delete all
emails in the outbox except one. I used the WMutil by Stephen L. Cochran to
clean out the inbox
http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/ . That seems to have solved
the problem. I don't know how that one message got corrupted (McAfee?) but I
went ahead and uninstalled the antivirus anyway. Again, thanks for
assistance.
