I’m having the same problem. Anyone?
Here are some sample settings.
First, set in WordPress > Dashboard > Options > Writing:
Mail server = mail.myblog.com Port = 110
Login name = [email protected] <—- you must include the “@myblog.com” in the login name
Password = wordpress
Second, if it isn’t yet created, create the email account. For me, I do this through cPanel:
1. Log into cPanel
2. Click the Mail icon
3. Click Manage/Add/Remove Accounts
4. Click Add Account
5. Enter Email = [email protected]
6. Enter Password = wordpress
7. Click Create
Third, send an email to [email protected]
Finally, run wp-mail.php by viewing it in your browser or via cron.
Can you provide more details on how you set up your email account (step 2)?
Tanster thanks for responding.
I setup everything as you described. My hosting is through GoDaddy, and I used their CPanel to set it up. Just to make sure that I had the POP3 settings correct, I entered them into Mozilla Thunderbird, and everything worked properly.
Again, the error I’m getting is:
Ooops POP3 connect: Error [0] [Success]
In an attempt to try to troubleshoot this on my own, I changed some of my mail settings in WP, and no matter what I enter I get that same error. Any more suggestions?
The only other things I can think of are:
1. When I Googled “Ooops POP3 connect godaddy,” I found this:

2. Try going to GoDaddy’s support site for help.
Good luck, phillyhotshots! 🙂
Thanks again tanster.
After installing and configuring Postie, I needed to add an exclamation point to one file and it worked. Still don’t know why I had the error… but who cares? It’s working beautifully!
Glad it worked for you! 🙂
