Is there a way to to stop Mail 4.2 from trying to send a message when it
obviously cannot use some server and keeps trying? A way to stop the
spinning immediately without force quitting program and deleting from
outbox?

Someone already answered when you asked the same question a couple of
days ago. They suggested opening the activity window and clicking
cancel.

Yes, I am sorry. Tried to add a clarification in above. I simply
missed the significance of what I was told. Apologies to Steven
Fisher. (I've been in state of mild confusion recently, I was
unfamiliar with the menu to look in the Window menu but no real
excuses!)

Thank you for reminding and I will try this next time I am on my
Macbook if I ever do need it.

But since last night, I think *many* of my troubles are over now
that I have researched and got further advice about how to
migrate from Tiger on PowerPC to Snow on Intel. I wiped the whole
HD clean and started from scratch and used Migrant Assistant and
rebooted with the transferred old account and amazingly, my
accounts are there. With all the settings. I have not tested yet.
I expect there will still be some minor problems so it is handy
to know the above.

A kind person emailed me this suggestion this morning: "try CMD +
0 and press the red button." Which was, essentially, Steven's
advice.
