I did finally manage to get it to work.  I looked at the Receiving
Options in the old setup and used the same settings for Feceiving
Options in the new setup.  In particular, I unchecked "Check for new
messages in all folders" and "Apply filters to news messages in INBOX on
this server", and that fixed the problem.  I think it was the first of
these that did it.

When I get a chance, I will try to figure out just what all the
Receiving Options do and so do what I want by intention rather than by
rote.
