Somehow I got the devices out of sync, and wasn't getting messages on
all devices, and I had forgotten my passwords (and keychain wasn't any
help), so I changed passwords, and set one email address as the default
address for all the devices, but for some reason that removed other
passwords.

The major problem now is that I'm not receiving the verification emails
sent to any of my addresses.

Thanks; that did it, for both the iMac and iPhone.  Still no luck with
the verification email, though.
