[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1863797, member: 204485"] I did a search on the Earthlink home page and eventually found this article; [URL='https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252839394']https://support.earthlink.net/articles/email/imap-email.php[/URL] It appears Earthlink has only had IMAP services since 2019 and the instructions are voluminous to say the very least. Suggestions about try a different Port, different security settings etc. I haven't seen so many setup instructions since the early days of setting up Gmail with Apple Mail. It was during or just after this time that I abandoned Mail. I have never gone back, although Mail has improved markedly and email service providers like gmail, MS Outlook, AOL, Yahoo etc have learned how to make their services more friendly to the Apple environment. Automatic setup works pretty much flawlessly with these accounts but Earthlink's setup instructions read like something from a decade ago. I would suggest you do as they suggest and use their mobile app as you have already mentioned or do as I did a decade ago and switch to a different email client. I used Airmail for nearly 8 years until they became a subscription service and currently I use Spark. [/QUOTE]
