Q: pop email on mac book

Recently a pop email account in apple mail stopped working and receives email intermittently. Mac book has all updates. Sending email from apple mail through smtp server works OK. Can access the account on ipad, webmail, etc. Settings in apple mail have been verified.

 

The strange thing is that I get an error message saying the account is not found on the pop server. Then once or twice a day apple mail will receive email. Sometimes -- but not always -- this happens after quitting mail and opening it again.

 

Spoke with the email provider's tech support, confirmed that everything with the account and settings is OK, and they reported that they have heard this from other mac users.

 

I found this thread, which seems related, but this doesn't work for me. Any help greatly appreciated.

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
