I did another test from goDaddy’s shared hosting, this time using a POP account at my ISP i.e. not my goDaddy POP account. The posting by email to WordPress works smoothly!

The problem therefore seems to be at the goDaddy’s POP server not receiving incoming connections from their own (and maybe other) hosts.

I’m also at goDaddy (shared server). I have debugged the problem up to the point where the fsockopen in class-pop3.php times out without establishing a connection to goDaddy’s POP server.

After three emails to the goDaddy support desk, the best answer I could get from them is:

Unfortunately we do not allow outgoing connections through port 110 from our shared hosting environment.

Please post a reply here if you could convince goDaddy to change their policy.
