Telus email accounts not working on new MacBook Air
Hi; I have a new MacBook Air [Sonoma 14.2.1] on which I am not having much luck accessing emails using Mac Mail. I also have a desktop iMac on which I am accessing my Telus accounts just fine. I hav...
I have also posted this issue on other forums [Apple, Mac Forums, MacRumors, etc.] to no avail. This is the only forum with anyone else understanding or facing the same issue. I'll try the Apple Genius Bar but am having to go through a gauntlet of queries.
I tried the "Less Secure Apps" setting, but 1) it did not make a difference and 2) I don't believe it is the issue, because Apple Mail had no trouble setting up my Gmail account, only the Telus account has a problem. Thunderbird actually reveals the settings it's using, which match the settings Telus provides in their documentation, while Mail is trying to connect on Port 0 (instead of 465 or some such port). It may be possible to work around by editing the preferences file, but, IMHO, it's not worth the effort.
Thunderbird and Outlook are both free clients, available from the App Store, and work "out of the box", so why bother ?
