I have a domain name (emmasteed.co.uk) that I have hosted with UK Reg and I recently moved my hosting to GoDaddy. I have an email that I have used for a few years now: [email protected]. When I changed my hosting I set up this email address again in GMail and put in the new username, password etc. into my GMail settings so that I am able to send and receive emails from this account. This has worked before but since setting this up I have only been able to send emails but not receive.
I have used the settings that GoDaddy have sent me. I spoke to someone at support at GoDaddy and they said that I need to change my MX records to Google's. Which I thought was odd as I never needed to do this before but I did so anyway and it has made no difference. I am only using GMail on my desktop to access my emails. I made these changes 5 days ago so there has been plenty of time for it to complete.
I was reinserting the same settings over and over in my GMail account yesterday and for a moment it acually worked and I started to receive emails but then it stopped working again.
The server settings I am using:
SMTP: n1plcpnl0058.prod.ams1.secureserver.net Port: 495
POP: n1plcpnl0058.prod.ams1.secureserver.net Port: 995
- I am only able to enter these settings if I have this option selected: 'Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail.' If I don't have this checked it just times out when trying to connect.
I have been going through so many forums with this issue and have not come across any answers. Is there something that I am potentially missing?
