I have finally got KMail going correctly again, but, last time I got it going, 
shutting the computer down over night was fatal.  KMail was back to not 
working. :-(

Anyhow, I now have it working and it is my current intention to keep it 
running 24/7 until I can get the whole problem sorted out definitively.  
(I.e. have time to rebuild my desktop and install Trinity, at least 13, at 
this stage probably on Wheezy - but only if, at that time, you kind folks 
think that it is a feasible intention.)

Thanks for all your help, and sorry that it took me so long to realise that I 
hadn't finally thanked you all.
