geardrops

Aha, that explains it I gave it another go this morning before coming back here and -- lo! -- it worked. Thank you I was almost certain I'd set up these exact parameters, but perhaps I didn't. Thanks!

Hi all First post here. I did a search on this but none of the posts seem to address my exact problem. I have a website here, and have set up an email at my blog's subdomain. (Ex: __addpostemail__@blog.geardrops.net) I have the following, under Settings > Writing > Post via e-mail Mail Server: mail.blog.geardrops.net Port: 110 Login Name: __addpostemail__ Password: [correct, triple-checked password] I have tried making the login name be __addpostemail__+mail.blog.geardrops.net as per Mail Server Username under Manual Settings in cpanel. I have tried ports 26 and 456. I have tried mail server mail.geardrops.net. I have tried every conceivable combination of these changes (or so I believe, at least -- I was pretty systematic about this, but it's a frustrating endeavour). I've ensured the mail I am sending to this address is plaintext. And, alas, anytime I run wp-mail.php, I get the following error: POP3 quit: connection does not exist Any ideas? Thanks Extra, potentially useful info: Supported Incoming Mail Protocols: POP3, POP3S (SSL/TLS), IMAP, IMAPS (SSL/TLS) Supported Outgoing Mail Protocols: SMTP, SMTPS (SSL/TLS)
