(moderation:
I can't get the BOINC manager to update after I have processed the very first batch of work. I don't see any clues in the messages to see why it fails to connect and get a new batch of work

Do you belong to other projects (in particular Seti)?
Have you tried update under the project tab?
Do you show anything under the transfer tab?

I used to belong to seti@home, but I switched because I could not get seti to move to BOINC. (I loat track of my password, and changed ISP's, so I can't get my password sent to the only email address the system is willing to use.)
I have pressed the update tab any number of times
The transfer pane is blank, and the two commands are greyed out.
On the projects pane, the status field on the extreme right of the screen says "Won't get new work". And yet, on the left side of the same screen, it say to allow new work.
I have updated my preferences, but they won't take effect until I successfully contact BOINC. I feel like Alice in Wonderland.

(A) If you have set your usage preferences to kick in work after a delay, it may be waiting for you to leave the computer alone! :-)
Try this in BOINC Manager:
On the "Commands" menu select "Run Always".
Then check into the "Messages" pane, perhaps waiting a bit.
(B) Alternatively if you are referring to the "allow new work" button at the left edge - press it!

If I recall correctly (I'm not with Seti these days), I read that there IS a provision for those who are in just such a situation as yours - lost password - no-longer-valid email. Check the BoincSeti website.
This problem (greyed out options) is probably because you haven't selected the Einstein project (by clicking on it, highlighting it) before you clicked on "Update". Even though Einstein may be the only project on the list, as in my case, and is in grey, you still need to highlight it manually for the Update, Suspend, etc buttons to work.
