I have a new laptop and am trying to set up my godaddy email on Tbird. I think I've tried every combination of in and out ports that I can think of. I keep getting message that Tbird failed to find the settings for my email account.


This problem is on 2 laptops I've tried to set Tbird up on. So it's not laptop specific. Very frustrating.


I also get the message that my UID or pwd is invalid. The pwd is correct (I logged in on an incognito window - so it's correct). Please help. Very frustrating.


Tbird works - I've configured an AOL email on it and it's sending and receiving emails. It's Tbird / godaddy specific...


I configured it and it worked well on a previous laptop that died.

the username and password may be correct but not with the server settings you are trying to use.

You have selected to use incoming 'POP3 option' but the incoming server hostname is set as imap, not pop so cannot work. If you are using POP3 then you must use the pop

POP3 Incoming mail server pop.secureserver.net port 995 use SSL/TLS and Normal Password options.

Outgoing mail server (SMTP) smtpout.secureserver.net port 465 use SSL/TLS and Normal Password options.
