Still nothing.
As Silencio suggested, I deleted the com.apple.mail.plist preference file. Corrected the incoming mail server address in the Welcome to Mail set-up thing. It then spent many minutes "checking...". So I cancelled, used the go back button to try again, this time it presented me w/the Outgoing mail server info I had to change, then it spent another many minutes "checking connection to mail server..."
Finally prompted me to create the account w/info I had entered, but still get an empty inbox. -"Unable to receive mail". I've re-checked the acct info, to duplicate that entered on the old MDD (which still has functioning Mail). Quit and re-opened Mail a few times.
