After 4 days back and forth with go daddy getting different suggestions from different godaddy support staff I finally figured out a solution to me godaddy email woes with my iPhone 6 mail client set up. I belive the same /similar settings work on your apple laptop.
Below is a mac OS mail client godaddy email setup suggestion. Be sure that your Go daddy workspace mail is set up as IMAP email Also good to reset the godaddy email account from scratch and with a new password :
OS LAPTOP: In the MAIL app. go to
Mail> Preferences> {select acct} then Advanced> set Port to 993, SSL set to on, authentication set to MD5 Challenge Response (or Password ), Allow insecure authentication set to off. Then in Behaviors Tab >select all options. Incoming server: imap.securesrever.net Outgoing server: smtpout.securesrever.net
