[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1939445, member: 204485"] That must be frustrating for you, the little triangle you are seeing simply means the account is off line. In most cases your email provider will usually provide manual incoming and outgoing settings for cases where the automatic feature fails. In Sonoma all Apple says about adding email accouns is in this article [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh43559/14.0/mac/14.0"]Add an Internet account[/URL] eg. [LIST=1] [*]In the app on your Mac, click the app’s name in the [URL='https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/aside/glos33eb8abd/14.0/mac/14.0']menu bar[/URL], then choose Add Account. For example, in Mail, choose Mail > Add Account. [*]Select the account provider, then click Continue. If you want to add an account from a provider that isn’t listed, such as a mail or calendar account for your company or school, select Other [[I]Type of[/I]] Account, click Continue, then enter the requested account information. If you don’t know the account information, ask the account provider. [*]Enter your account name, password and other requested information. [*]If you’re adding an account that multiple apps can use, a dialogue appears in which you select the apps you want to use with the account. [/LIST] As your Telus accounts are working on your other devices it's obviously possible to do and really Telus should be more helpful. Perhaps someone else can chime in on this topic, personally I dont use the native Mail app having had similar issues with it over the years. [/QUOTE]
