For many years, I have used POBox as a mail forwarder, allowing me to have my own domain. In the past, I was able to configure the server ids in setup. In Ventura, you are not allowed access to that information even when setting up an internet account from scratch.
Is there a workaround for this?

what is this IMAP or POP account? If this your issue...
The default these days is IMAP, however

you can trick the setup, enter a bogus email address that does not resolve and a fake password, so it presents option,
then change/enter all your correct information...

Thanks but I tried that as well. That doesn't work. You need to be able to change passwords as well since two different systems are in place ... iCloud and POBox. Apple allowed this configuration in the past. Now it doesn't let you past this one part.
