Thus ends(..I hope...) the second round of headbanging after getting my new Mini(still love it...).

I couldn't get Mail to setup a working account w/ GoDaddy mail.
I tried a slew of reccommended settings from countless posts, but here's what worked. Found at GoDaddy's Frequently Asked ?'s in the web/email section:


To set up a working account-
Mail Menu- click Preferences
click "+" to setup a new email account
Select "POP"
enter description of acct
Full Name: enter your full name
Email Address: enter the email address(full)
"Continue"
Incoming Mail Server: mail.domainname.com (or "biz", "org" or whatever your's is called)
User Name: **I had to put my full email address here, not just my user name
"Continue"
Outgoing Mail Server: For GoDaddy, I had to select/enter "smtp.secureserver.com"
(don't click "use authentication")
"Continue"
(done!)

**Before setting up Mail accounts, I went to GoDaddy and changed the following settings on my email accounts:

under "Outgoing Mail: SMTP Relaying"
change the "Relays per Day" from "0" to "250"
then I had to wait a little while for my account settings to be updated

I HOPE this helps save somebody lots of headaches! :)
 
smtp.secureserver.com?

Hey...

I JUST setup my website as well..

You sure you used smtp.secureserver.com?

The ones I've tried so far.. with no luck are:

smtpout.secureserver.net
smtp.secureserver.net

Did u have to change the port numbers?
