Hi !
My question is: what can be done on my iMac to stop Apple Mail from bringing in my Earthlink e-mail account as imap when I set it up, it is a pop. account.
I have deleted my account in Apple Mail already and started over and got the same result and it WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO CHANGE IT to pop.
Using 10.13.6 for the first time, was using 10.11.
Thanks in advance for any help.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.13
First, may I ask why you wan't the old outdated POP instead of IMAP?
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

HI, thanks for the reply !
My problem was resolved by contacting Earthlink directly, but to the point, Apple Mail didn't even give me the choice of pop or imap which ticked me off and made my situation worse. I've used Mail since the first incarnation of OS X, and this is the first time that I've had a problem setting it up. Been an Apple user for almost 25 years.
Anyway, thanks for your assistance, It's greatly appreciated !!
Here are the instructions for setting up pop or imap servers in Mail:
Great to hear you got it fixed my friend! :)
