Responding to my own post with a correction: In fact, deleting emails
does work this morning. Last evening's result is now not repeatable.
But ... still no N marking new/unread emails. 
And a new discoverey: When composing an email, after closing the
emacs window, at the point where typing 'y' would send the email,
the 'q' does nothing. The screen remains unchanged. No offer of
postponement. Nothing. It does respond to 'e', whicn is how I am
able the offer this additional information. 

Suggestions?
