 * Sending a post to a pop3 account.
 * I have tried this with multiple pop accounts. No go, I always get the same error
   on the wp-mail.php page. I’ve even set a cron job to that file on my server (
   Yes, you can set Cron jobs on GoDaddy.)
 * Here’s the error:
 * **POP3 connect: Error [0] [Success]**
 * Another question, nowhere have I really found whether I should place an [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-via-emailerror/?output_format=md),
   https:// or something else in front of the pop3 server address in the admin settings
   for WordPress.
 * Ideas?

 * Try different hosting account. I could fetch the mail on wp-mail.php, but error
   in Cron jobs.

 * I believe the error (assuming you are using php path/to/wp-mail) is that since
   it accesses locally, wp-mail doesn’t understand the route back to the DB, and
   dies.
 * I’ve heard of better success with wget, where it still errors out, but runs the
   mail check on its own.
 * If you are able, trigger “send email upon completion of cron job” via your hosting
   admin panel. This should send back a more detailed description of whats going
   wrong, which you can then post here.
