Thanks for the prompt and helpful response. I just thought I'd try Outlook
Express, which I still have set up for the same address, and that is able to
receive messages to the Inbox. Clearly, my Outlook setup has a problem, so I
will double and triple check everything again. As usual, user error is at
the bottom of this.

Again, thank you....
