[QUOTE="tape, post: 1628207, member: 178954"] Lisa, I watched a video that explained Yosemite was making the assumption the new account I was adding was an IMAP because Apple just wants to make life easier. One solution was to initially type in a false email address and upon trying to connect, you were presented with a window to choose which type of account this was to be and then you typed in the correct info. The other and more direct solution is to type in all the correct info at the beginning but to hold the option key as you select next after typing in the password. There you again see the selection for IMAP or pop. Why this isn't made obvious is confusing [/QUOTE]
