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.

Is this a company email account? If so you may need to talk their technical support, as there may be additional layers of security which are preventing a connection.

When opening a new tab, or deleting it I get this error message: Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Internet Accounts preferences can't connect to the account -

Updating 17th October to Yosemite and working fine until 3rd November.
Mail was suddenly not able to connect to one of my external hosted e-mail accounts. Another account, same external virtual hosting but other domain, username, pwd is still working fine. Account settings in Mail are exact the same for both accounts (IMAP and SMTP). It's now a week trying to find the problem without any result. Very strange is, that Mail is sometimes suddenly able to connect the invalid account: Last week if I was away from the Mac for 20 minutes, coming back, the account was online. I was able to do some mails and cleanup my inbox. It ends if i reboot the Mac. In my network all Mavericks Macs, iPhones, iPads are connecting well this account.
I did a Mail setup just with the invalid account in a clean Guest User. No chance to connect the invalid account. Adding the other working one was just a thing of seconds.
I found that in System Preferences > Internet Accounts for the invalid account a pop-up asks for "Enter the password for …". Doing so it comes up with "Unable to verify account name or password" with the only chance to Cancel. I think there must be a starting point to my problem.
Is anyone knowing about this? Any help is very welcome.

I'll pass this along to all. I have the same smtp issue. I have two Cox email accounts and a number of Gmail accounts. The Cox smtp server goes offline. Gmail is fine. Yesterday I began pressing every button and the following worked, why, beats me.
Open MAIL got to MAIL PULLDOWN then PREFERENCES then ACCOUNTS then SELECT THE EMAIL ACCOUNT and look at ACCOUNT INFORMATION - now at the bottom hit the ARROW at OUT GOING MAIL SERVER (SMTP) which brings up a list of severs SELECT EDIT SMTP SEVER LIST. now this bring up a list of servers HIT THE ADVANCED BUTTON which brings the properties of the highlighted server below. LOOK AT THE TWO PORT BOXES.
The first selection says USE DEFAULT PORTS (25 465 587)
The second selection asks you to ENTER CUSTOM PORT.
FOR COX: The Cox website says to use port 465. I SELECTED CUSTOM PORT AND ENTERED PORT 465 and exited Preferences AND IT WORKED!!!
So far so good today.
I have no idea whether this has any relevance to the rest of you using other email servers so good luck.

I keep getting this message: Mail can't connect to the account: "Sbcglobal". Enter the password... So I do and it opens up, but later it will happen again. It's not earth-shattering, but I have to stop what I'm doing to get rid of the bouncing Mail icon.

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

This is normally to do with activation. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Serial number issues or activating my product
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Ensure you have your serial number.

Have IMAC, Mountain Lion mail. Each time I open mail, the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google" followed by a request for a password of an acct that was previously deleted. How do I get rid of the message? Thanks

I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Contacts can't connect to the account "Yahoo!".

I have a yahoo account and I check my emails using the Mail app that comes with my MacBook Air.
For some reason, Contacts can't connect to the account Yahoo. It keeps popping out a little window that says:
Contacts can't connect to the account "Yahoo!".
Enter the password for the user "[email protected]"
Password: [ }
I have entered my password over a dozen times and it tries to connect. A few times the little windows keeps coming back and I have tried re-entering the password. I have checked and double check I enter the right password. Then other times, it comes the same little window but a different message. The window is tittled: The operation could not be completed and under that it says: No other information is available about the problem.
I have also gone to Preferences for Contacts and then click on "Edit Account...". When I do that, the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" window opens. Next to my Yahoo account I click on "Details". When I do that, a Yahoo little window opens displaying my email address and below there are 3 boxes. First one has my name. Second one has my password. I have tried re-typing my password over a dozen times. Then finally, the last box says Description and there I have Yahoo!
I hope someone knows what is my issue or if there is an issue between Apple and Yahoo where they don't talk to each other well.
Thank you
James

Thank you Linc for looking after my post.
I checked in my Yahoo account under:
Set up your second sign-in verification
Back to account info
Protect your account
Second sign-in verification adds an extra level of protection to your account. Learn more
Get started
and I currently don't have that option activated.
Can you elaborate as where or how can I find out where I could have activated a 2-step verification.
Thank you
James

When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

Hello everyone,
I was having the same issue:
"Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
1. Start
2. Control Panel
3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
4. Event Viewer
5. Application
You will see something like this:
Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
"Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
