hi

i have being  suffering the same issue 'Cannot get POP summary: Socket I/O timed
out' since a few days ago, with a domain hosted by godaddy
(and secureserver.net).

My evo has a couple of accounts which connect fine to a local smpt server (at
127.0.0.1) and a single account as above. 

To be able to retrieve mails from the latter one, it seems I need to follow your
advise 'Disable support for all POP3 extensions' >>for all<< my accounts. Does
it make sense? Downloads from godaddy are still slower than it used to be. 

Fedora 23
GNOME Shell 3.18.5
Evo 3.18.5.2

your comments and advises are welcome
cheers
