Posting to a GoDaddy Website

As much as I’d like to help, the “no route to host” message implies the DNS is not set up correctly on the GoDaddy server or they are blocking the connection.
The fix is to not use GoDaddy or find a support person who cares enough to really look into it.

Thanks Wayne, I understand..

SOLVED FINALLY;
As someone else suggested, I created a new email address through the Cpanel functions in GoDaddy. After the email is created I went to the Configure button that showed multiple ways to auto configure the email for many other hosts.
At the bottom of the page it shows Manual Setup. This is for Postie.
Here is the key; The incoming server was not just pop.secureserver.net,
When you enter the MailServer in Postie be sure to use the full server name: a2plcpnlxxxx.prod.iad2.secureserver.net (The xxxx will vary depending on your account)
I used Pop3, no TLS with port 110 and everything works great now.
So easy once you know what to look for.
Hope this helps others..

The Postie website has been updated with these new instructions. Thanks for your persistence Les.

you say

I have godaddy shared server access
i get
Incoming server (POP3):
pop.asia.secureserver.net
cant find the a2plcpnlxxxx.prod.iad2.secureserver.net
setting anywhere
Email doesnt come up on my cpanel
I set this up some years ago and know i got it working
It really should come with a warning “unless you are real lucky expect a 10 hour install!” no joking

So the question is if anyone knows a sure fire way to find the full server name on godaddy let the rest of us know

Your incoming server may vary depending on your account and location.
If you sign into your GoDaddy Cpanel account. Click Email icon under “your building tools”. Next click the third icon ‘Mail Configuration”
Select the email you want to see. Scroll to the bottom of the page and on the left under manual settings it will show you your incoming server. This server may take 2 lines to display. Copy the entire mail server and use that server in your Postie Mail Server configuration.

As soon as I did this, my Postie Test was successful.
Hope that clarifies the process.

gnfb, to add, you said you couldn’t see Email on your cpanel. Should be at the very top under Tools. Call GoDaddy and ask them if you have your email set up as a Cpanel email. If it is Exchange email this does not work on some servers.

LesTexas60 thanks for that info about using Cpanel functions in GoDaddy.That worked.

I’d like to add an additional work-around for those who also use Godaddy’s “Workspace Email” (which I was unable to get Postie to work with).
The work-around I found to make Postie work was:
1. Creating a subdomain
2. Creating an email account for Postie to use through Cpanel as you described. The email address needs to have the new subdomain in the email address.
3. Add an MX record that points to your subdomain. Godaddy’s “Workspace Email” uses a different server than Cpanel emails accounts.

Thanks Again,
RM

Thanks for sharing.
