Moving from Postbox

Postbox
1

I moved over from Postbox today, and -– overall – I’m impressed. Import didn’t go great, but that wasn’t a big deal. I was able to move the email that was imported incorrectly.

My big issue, and one that is keeping me from using emClient, is that it will not connect to a POP3 account. I double checked the settings (in the app and at the host), tried the different Security policy settings, and even changed the email account password. No luck. It will not connect.

I don’t know what to do. But if I can’t get this to work, then I may not be using emClient

What is the error you are getting when trying to connect to your pop account ?

You can click the dropdown on the right of Refresh and click “Show Operations” and click the Log tab and look for any obvious error messages and paste them in this thread.

It doesn’t give an error – it just silently fails and shows a red warning triangle next to the account name in the sidebar. below is the the log. Thank you for your help!

Ok, what is your POP Server address, Port and Security Policy?

Also what POP mail server host are you with ?

Also is this Windows or Mac and what version OS ?

Lastly do you run any optionally eg: Firewall / Security programs, or optionally installed antivirus programs or VPNs ?

I’ve tried all the Security policies and nothing works

I’m on Mac OS 14.7 (Sonoma)
OS Firewall is not on. I have anti-virus software, but why in the world would that affect this? No other optional security.

This email account worked fine in Postbox, so I don’t see how this would be anything OS level.
