Apple says do 'this', but google doesn't have the same spaces to put that info in! I've spent two days trying to make my business email work. Should have stayed with GoDaddy? Any of my apple devices. Can't make mail work no matter how hard I try.

You are welcome. Keep us posted with how things work out. I'm just an everyday Apple user, like yourself.

Remove/Add the Account:
It is likely an issue with the mail protocol being misconfigured with the wrong port. Without getting too technical here, remove the eMail account, and then add it back. If you cannot configure this on your own, then speak with the network administrator, to know what protocols and post numbers to use.
Mail Protocols Include:
Wow, thanks for the fast response! Much appreciated. At this point, I've started over, similar to what you've suggested and sent a verification email from iCloud to - somewhere. If that new email isn't working yet and waiting for a verification, how can I get it to verify it? Catch 22 which I read about yesterday when I started this project.

Troubleshooting Business eMail:
Speak with the Network Administrator. They should have all the info you need. View a few videos on YouTube in regards to configuring all of this.
That account that was with GoDaddy and uses my personal domain, was a Microsoft Exchange account. I had deleted it, and when I reentered that email, GoDaddy's Microsoft 365 pay for the year account show up. Not sure how to solve this problem.
I started all over and when asked if I had an email already associated with my custom domain, I chose no, instead of yes. Clicked next and setup happened automatically in a minute or two. Seems have filled in all the blanks in Google, who is now hosting my domain. Should be easy from here! Thanks for the help and support!
Resend verification emails
This will send verification emails only to the addresses you haven’t verified yet.
Next step: 1 email address needs to be verified before you can finish setup.

You are welcome.
👍 Excellent job troubleshooting!
Well, thanks. It took a while to ignore the directions and do it differently than instructed.
