POP vs IMAP
I use email associated with my website hosted through GoDaddy.
I was able to use a POP server for years, as the option to delete messages from server after retrieving email is only available using POP, not IMAP.
I just bought a new 16-inch MacBook Pro running OS 10.15.7 and went to set up my Apple Mail using my existing email account I'd used for years on my old MacBook running 10.15.4.
Mail won't recognize the POP server but will let me set it up using IMAP. Unfortunately the problem with IMAP is explained above, that it doesn't have the option to delete messages from server after retrieving, which led to my email being "full" this morning (my limit through GoDaddy, which had never been reached before in over 7 years of use).
So, how do I get my Apple Mail on my new laptop to behave the way it always did on my old one? Seems like the OS versions are fairly close, what is the issue here?
