How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port?

How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port? on Maverick O/Sx. Cannot see option to use 2 different ports?

In Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Account Information tab - from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):' drop-down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server List...', choose the server you want to edit from those listed, click on the Advanced tab. Does that give you the option you're after?

How do I set up a POP mail account

I am trying to set up a new email account as a POP account but my MacMail defaults to IMAP only
Help!!!

Paul I am also haveing problem with Mac mail and ATT.net account it has work good for over a year and now it keep kicking me say my pass word is rejected. I have been through this with att and have not been able to resolve it. I tired the POP it sill saying I have a problem.

I had no problem setting up my pop mail account for my primary email, but cannot set up a 2nd pop account for my secondary account. I'm using Ipad2. Can you help?

I cannot seem to set up a 2nd pop account on my Ipad2. No problems setting up the primary but the secondary keeps telling me that either username or password is incorrect. Both are correct. It's driving me crazy. Can someone help?
Thanks!

Maybe I'm not following completely, but you can configure email accounts manually, if you want. Just hold down the Option key when you click Continue on the first screen. You can then choose the type of account and set up the servers as you like.
This help page seems to think you can still use POP with Yahoo.

Could someone PLEASE tell me how to set up more than one POP mail account.

I am soooo frustrated. Before I upgraded to Tiger I had no problems setting up my mail accounts. Now, I can only set up one POP mail account. I have three mail accounts that I desperately need to set up from the same ISP server, all POP accounts. On Panther and earlier, all I had to do was add the accounts. Now I have ONE POP account and when I try to set up another I get an error message that I already have a POP account set up. Why is this happening and what happened to the old system that worked just fine. I am so annoyed with this. It simply defies logic!!!!

I don't know if this will work or not, but why don't you try using bogus pop and/or smtp server information when you initially establish the accounts with Mail's setup wizard? Just continue through the "warning: cannot validate server" messages that the wizard will give you. Then go into Mail > preferences > accounts and highlight each of the new accounts, one at a time, and try changing the incoming pop and outgoing smtp mail server information to what it is supposed to be?
For the "Outgoing" server just use the pull-down menu, to select it, and when all accounts are done, go into that same pull-down menu and choose "Edit Server List..." to remove the bogus smtp server information.
Incoming should be just renaming that pop server in the "Incoming server" field.
If that doesn't work, I've got something riskier you could try, again with no guarantees, and that is editing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file using either the Property List Editor that comes with XCode Tools (will launch automagically when you click on that .plist file if XCode is installed) or with the pico editor in Terminal, and possibly renaming some folders in your ~/Library/Mail folder, too. Again, start with the bogus server info, then find those entries in the .plist file and make changes there.
Note: if not familiar with the notation, "~" means your "home" directory.

When setting up new godaddy pop mail account, I get this error: Internet Accounts preferences can't connect to the account

Trying to set-up new godaddy mail account. Walked through it with the godaddy rep, so the settings are correct. It is a pop account and I merely want it to function within Mail. (I have other accounts like it that work with no problem.) However, when I try to go online with the account, I get this error message: "Internet Accounts Preferences can't connect to the account..." It then prompts me to enter the password for the account and says it is "Unable to verify account or password."
Godaddy says it is an Apple Mail issue because the account works fine in their Workspace. I sent test messages and when I login at godaddy, the messages are there. However, for some reason, Mail won't connect to it. Any ideas?
Thank you. I'm running OS X, version 10.9.4.

Yes. The account is there. There's just a verification with password issue. I had to change my password at Godaddy to include caps, special character, etc., and reinstall the account. Then I had to tweet the settings a bit. But think I have it resolved. Thanks.

If you delete a POP mail account in Mac Mail can you get your mails back?

This has happened to a client of mine. She'd just set up a new account for her email as she'd moved servers. She had an old POP mail account on her Mac Mail for two years which she deleted and now all of her old sent mails are gone plus everything from the inbox that wasn't moved into folders.
How do you get those emails back? (I'm not sure if she has been using Time Machine to back everything up)
Will re-creating the old account help?

If she hasn't been backing up with Time Machine (or a full backup which hasn't been overwritten) they are gone. Recreating the account won't being them back.
If she has Time Machine, open (user)/Library/Mail in the Finder and then enter Time Machine. Navigate backwards looking for a folder named POP- and the name of the account. Use TM to restore that.

How do I set up an e-mail account to go with iPhoto?

How do I set up an e-mail account to go with iPhoto?

Applications > Mail
If you haven't set up a mail account, it will probably ask you if you want to set one up, but here's how I do it.
Press command-, and that will take you to preferences.
Up near the top click the "Accounts" tab
Click the plus button that is located at the lower left corner.
Enter your name, email address, and password.
Click enter then click continue
Set the account type to POP or IMAP. Whichever one you want is fine as long as it works with your email service.
Don't change the next security settings. Click continue.
Enter something for the description. Make sure that the "Use Athentication" checkbox is checked. Enter your password and click continue.
Click continue you might have to go through one of the security settings again. Click continue.
An account summary will come up. Click "Take account online". Then click create.
You have added your account to Mail.

Deleted POP mail account and messages went with it. HELP!!!!!!

To start off, I am fairly new to the Mac world. I have been having problems with Mail and my outgoing smtp server. I thought that if I deleted my pop mail account and then recreated it it would stop hanging on my outgoing mail. I am a previous Windows user and this practice causes no harm there and I mistakenly drew the same conclusion here. So I deleted the account and then set it up again and low and behold all of my messages are now gone except for the 850 or so that I have had this year.
Is there anywhere that I can find the old mail messages hidden on my mac? I'm sure that it has them saved somewhere, I just don''t know where to look. I would really appreciate any help. I had about 6000 messages from the last couple of years and I often need to search back through old emails.

When you go to delete an account, a warning pops up displaying
"This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Copies of messages on the mail server, if they exist, are not affected."
If you acknowlege the warning and click 'OK' then the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages are permanently deleted from your computer.
If you want to have any hope of salvaging the data from the hard disk, you'll need to stop using the computer and either install data recovery software(FileSalvage, for example) on an external HD or send the disk out to a data recovery service.
For future reference, if you find yourself wanting to start over with a Mail account-or any app-you can delete the .plist file for the app from Users/~/Library/Preferences

Pop mail account and duplicates on mail.ap

Hi,
Mail is duplicating messages, I have a pop mail account and the preference setting is to erase messages on the server.
Some duplicates are from Nov 2006; after I erased all messages using the terminal and ssh connection.
I was told to rebuild mail index and did it, no improvement.
.......... any help appreciated, I have invested many hours into erasing duplicates ... thanks, Garrett
Why don't you try rebuilding your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When that's done, any duplicates or ghost messages should be gone..

Sorry, both at once is confusing in retrospect.
Just meant backup the whole works and drag the current cache & envelope out of their locations to the desktop.
What about the plist?
You can make a Copy of that to move to the Desktop. Sometimes that needs to be made anew also, but requires putting in account info and such, so we generally wait on that one.
What about the files on the desk top?
If everything works right, we can trash them, if nit we can mive them back.
I'm not sure from these ideas what might be the result or why there is a problem in the first place.
Same here, but those files can become corrupt.

Cannot setup 2nd POP mail account

When I go through the settings adding another pop mail account, I do not have an ADVANCED button to add the specific info like I do on the first POP mail account. This is a necessary step otherwise when I save it times out unable to connect.
The manual says there should be an ADVANCED button which there is on the first mail account buut not on subsequent accounts????
Why?????
When I added the second mail accoun to Outlook, it synced in just fine and an ADVANCED button was active. But I don't really want Outlook to pick up the mail for this particular website as I use Outlook Express for that purpose, but you cannot sync with bothe Outlook and OE. Of course deleting the mail account in Outlook removes it from theiPhone and I am back to square one.
Any ideas?
Sure miss my todo list

When I save the settings it bombs because it attempts to verify and the security (advanced) settings are not set yet.
Ther error is:
Secure Connection Failed.
The certificate "[email protected]" may be invalid
My login requires the full email address as the username plus I need to change the SMTP to port 26 and requires auth

Managing pop mail account on iPhone

I have a pop mail account on my PC with my ISP. I've added it to my iPhone so that I can remotely check mail. But I have only 3 folders - Inbox, Sent and Trash. I would like to add a folder to save messages rather than save them in the inbox. I don't seem to be able to do this. Even syncing my account doesn't work in this respect.
Is there a way to do this? It seems like a fairly standard thing...

I think what you mean is that you cannot have an email POP account on a laptop and on iphone look for the same messages on the incoming server.
I mean exactly what I provided. A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. When a POP account is accessed with more than email client, the setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded needs to be off with both email clients used to access the account.
And if accessed with more than one email client, you cannot have both email clients actively accessing the incoming mail server for new messages at or near the same time. If one email client checks the incoming mail server for new messages followed by another email client doing the same at or near the same time, the incoming mail server will lock the account's Inbox mailbox preventing the 2nd email client from accessing the account's Inbox mailbox and downloading new messages if any are available. This is a temporary lock and is due to a POP account being designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
The same does not apply to an IMAP account which is designed to be accessed with more than one email client with multiple email clients being able to access server stored mailboxes at the same time.
Please answer my question which was copied from my previous post and was provided first.
*Since this is a POP account, what is your account setting with Outlook for removing messages from the server when downloaded?*
