I tried to sign up to get BOINC'ed, to convert my old email address to a
new
BOINCing  account.

After submitting my email address to BOINC a dozen times (over the past
few
days), it said (11 times out of 12), "Account found.  We have emailed your
account ID to lostwithout@home.com. Please wait for this email to arrive,
and then paste the account ID here..."

But I never received the email with my new Account ID.  So I can't get the
Boinc running.

Your ISP's spam filters probably wiped out the BOINC message.
