This communication got started 2 days ago with Tomas (who is always very helpful) but I believe that my reply failed to reach him properly and I need help now to get my Poco issue resolved.
Here is what happened so far :

Tomas responded :
Hi Kimmy,
it's strange that you could send an email from Pocomail, after you have changed the password on fusemail? Pocomail shouldn't be able to connect to fusemail after password is changed. Unless your smtp server is from different provider and not fusemail.
Anyway, to change the passwords in Pocomail, please press F3 for an accounts list, select account, click Edit button, password for incoming server is in the general tab. Password for outgoing server can be changed in the Outgoing tab, if it's necessary (if you use fusemail smtp server).
Best regards,
Tomas

Thanks Tomas.... I think the reason I was able to send from Poco even after having changed the Fusemail password is because I I had first opened Poco, where I read the email warning from Fusemail about changing the password. I kept the Poco open in one tab and then I opened Fusemail in another tab and changed the password. I then closed Fusemail and came back to the tab where Poco was still open from before ... and that's when I emailed you.
(If that makes sense.)
Anyway, I did change the password.
Poco is having problems though.
I did as you instructed.... I went into Account list, Edit, and then I found the password for incoming server in the General tab. I changed the password to the same as Fusemail. I then went to the Outgoing tab and changed the outgoing password as well.
I did this same process for each of my four Poco accounts.
Then I closed Poco and reopened it again.
I decided to do some experiments so i sent one "test" email, from each of my four Poco accounts, to my free Hotmail address. Then I went to Hotmail to check and see if the four test emails had made it through. There were four emails there, but each email was listed as being sent from my main Poco account.... four emails from "The Knights"; when actually I had sent one from "The Knights", one from "kimmy.k" etc.
In my Hotmail there should have been four emails, each from a different poco account; not four sent from the same account.
Another experiment I tried was sending an email from Hotmail to each of my four Poco accounts.
When I came back to Poco and hit the "Check" mail button, I got an "error log" referring to logins having failed for three of my four Poco accounts. The only account that did not list login failure was my main account, "The Knights".
None of my four accounts can send or recive emails now!
I need help soon.
