El Capitan, Mail, Copy and Paste into "To:" + New mail sound with POP

Hi smart, friendly Mac guys.


So, I have been having major Mail nightmares since updating to El Capitan this early October. 😟

I am pretty proficient with my MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, Mid 2014


New Mail Sound: I finally got a "New Mail Sound" when I succumbed to using IMAP to retrieve my Google/Gmail.

I really prefer POP, as I find it to be more minimal. I don't use any other devices to check mail, besides Mail and sometimes online.

Only then was I able to get my new mail to "Ding!"


However! I also have a website, me@me.com (example) from GoDaddy. And that is a POP mailbox. I am not even sure if IMAP is available.

I get no ding, and miss out on all kinds of work and time sensitive notifications when I am cleaning the house. Stepping away from the computer and listening for my new mail sound is something that has always worked in Mail, no matter POP or IMAP.


Am I missing something?

I really have tried everything. It's maddening.


Copy & Paste in Mail:

Ok this is something I google searched and could not find any answers on.

I cannot copy and paste text into any of the Mail headers, aka To:, Bcc:, CC:, or Subject.

If I want to copy someones email address, say from facebook or a text or wherever, I cannot paste it into these headers.

This seems odd. I can't be the only one?


Please help.

Thanks.
