When I install boinc on my new computer and try to add a E@H as a project, it asks for my login and password, then tells me it can't add the project now and to come back later. This has been happening for a couple of days now. What am I doing wrong?

You could update to Stretch. As it has later versions of things (libcurl and BOINC) you wouldn't have the issue with ca-certificates at least.

I'll happily admit that this

I'll happily admit that this issue is way beyond my ability to understand or fix. Does anybody know if it has been fixed in Raspbian Jessie (in terms of actioning by a simpleton who only knows how to do an upgrade or a dist-upgrade)?

This issue was fixed in

This issue was fixed in Debian 7.5 which is also available for Raspbian. You should do a simple sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and then try to reattach to Einstein@home.
