[QUOTE="krs, post: 1836649, member: 67742"] Ahh........that explains it! The Apple article you linked to in post #23 which I read several times (the article not your post), makes no mention that the mail account has to be an IMAP account to be able to use Mail Drop. It says: All my Apple mail accounts are POP accounts except a temporary one I set up about a month ago just to be able to download the messages from a different mail account I was closing. I still have that account set up in Apple Mail, and sure enough - when I select that account the option for Mail Drop is there. I always thought POP accounts were the more common mail accounts. In any case, when I first got my email account in the 80's, POP was the only viable option - i only had dial up internet at the time, I reember a 56K modem was a big new development at the time, and my ISP offered very limited storage for my email account. Never had a need to change. Today, on the odd occasion where I want to look at my inbox from another device, I can do that by logging into the ISP's mail server - I just don't see the emails I have sent. I'm glad this is all sorted out, so Mail Drop is not really an option for me - not a big deal since I can use other means to send large files - it's just not that convenient. The pressing issue here now is to "fix"that 'Sucuri Firewall Issue' so we can use the forum to communicate without jumping through hoops. [/QUOTE]
