![]() ![]() With another more Mac friendly company now. After almost 15 years with them, I finally got rid of them about a year ago. I mentioned in my post to Joscelyn80 that I was "with GoDaddy." Well actually that isn't exactly true. To get an IMAP account you usually have to pay extra. IMAP, on the other hand, was created later on and uses a different "protocol" for how email works. You purchase a domain name from a company and you usually get a free POP email account along with it. POP is the original "protocol" or way of using email. You have 2 choices when using email: POP and IMAP. I only mention all this because it has to do with the real problem with email: POP or IMAP? Not sure if it all worked out for her or not because I didn't hear back from Joscelyn80. I just assumed Joscelyn80's account was a POP account, as most individual accounts are. What I didn't go in to was that 993 is for an IMAP account and 995 is for a POP account. I suggested to switch from 993 to 995 on her incoming mail server port. I gave a little advice to Joscelyn80 on her email problem. To both Joscelyn80 and shoeluvr and anyone else having Apple Mail/GoDaddy problems: Some I like a lot better that Apple Mail. And there were times that I just said the heck with it, and used another email program. Lastly, I can only say as someone who has used macs from almost day one in the 1980's, I'm an advertising art director, that this email problem has been an ongoing Apple Mail issue that I've encountered many many times unfortunately. Seems sometimes it works one way and other times another. Note: it's also smart to try the SSL box both checked and unchecked. ![]() I might also add that this is for POP mail settings, so make sure of that too. Actually if I'm not mistaken these settings are also true with other companies, not just GoDaddy. I've also used 110 with success sometimes. ![]() I've been with GoDaddy for years, and the port has always been 995. Since I did read your post, I see one problem: your incoming server port of 993. Not sure how that happened since I haven't been anywhere near this discussion. Just got an email from the Apple Support Community with your problem showing. ![]()
