As for the email problems I got that figured out. It was in a setting in the Admin. CP that I had wrong toward the bottom.

SMTP Email Account Mailbox
SMTP Email Account Password
SMTP Email Mail Host mail.yoursite.com
SMTP Email Mail Server Port 25
Convert currencies for Text emails £,£

In my case I needed to leave the Account Mailbox and Account Password BLANK

I found the ZenCart EBook very helpful. Anyone interested and if having problems my advice is to go for it. You will make yourself a better and more Knowledgeable Zenner on issues.
