How do I set a personal email account to be POP when it defaults to IMAP?

Hello there
I need to set up my client's email account on his Storm (O2) to POP however the Blackberry Internet Service (and also the device) detect that IMAP is available and sets it to IMAP.
This is really urgent as it is causing issues and I have had no luck with O2 and am now desperate.
Please help!

Hello,
There is nothing you can do via the device nor even the carrier BIS interface. BIS will default to the "best" quality connection it finds on the server you direct it to. If that server is running both POP and IMAP, BIS will use IMAP. You cannot override it. The only way it can be different is if the email provider has separate servers for POP and IMAP. Then, by directing BIS to the proper server, BIS will configure for what that server is handing out.
Hope that helps!

How can I set up 2 email accounts in Mail

It's me again.
I'm trying to set up Mail 2.1.3. in 10.4.11. I have 2 email accounts. I can enter one just fine but it won't take another. When I try, it says that I "already have a POP account". How do I set up 2 email accounts? I see where I can enter the 2 email addresses by separating them by a comma. But the 2 addresses have different passwords and the password box takes only one password at a time. Any ideas?

It's hard for me to tell by what has been written so far, but it may be referring to what you are entering for the account description. That is, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > Acct Info, for each account it has several entries: Acct Type (that you can't change), Description, email address, full name. If the first account's description is POP, then make the second account's description POP2. I use terms like, "home", "work", and "school" for my accounts' descriptions.
If this is not what is going on, please write down every step you do, and every entry you make, as you try to configure your second email account and post it back here. Naturally, do NOT disclose your actual email address(es) or mail account login name or its password to us here.

How do I set up my email account on my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 so that the emails are downloaded to my computer and removed from the ISP server?

how do I set up my email account on my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 so that the emails are downloaded to my computer and removed from the ISP server?

When setting up the email using Apple 'Mail' (version 8.2 (2070.6)) I do not get an option to set up my email as using POP. I can go to Outlook from Microsoft and I get a chance to set my mail up using POP, however I would prefer to use the Apple supplied 'Mail' email programme as I'm using Office 365 and may not want to continue the subscription sometime in the future.
Any advice on setting Mail to POP would be appreciated. A not so Happy Wombat.

Is it possible to set up personal email accounts on iPhone5?

Can iPhone 5 handle two different personal email accounts (as well as gmail etc)? I have two personal domain names, each with its own email address. My Air handles all this fine. But my new iPhone5 is a problem. One account is OK but the other rejects all settings by saying they are incorrect. Two visits to a genius bar have failed to solve the problem.
Is there a hosting company that specialises in iOS and could provide advice?

I've spoken to them 4-5 times and emailed a print out of my Air settings. They say the settings are fine. The genius guys also agree the phone settings follow the Air settings. I suspect there is some little thing, or maybe some forwardings, that are screwing it up.

How can I set up multiple email accounts in one folder in Thunderbird?

Hello; first time poster here.
I own a business that has several email accounts. I am trying to create a folder (titled my business name), then set up all of the email accounts for my business so they all are in that one folder. I have tried for two days to figure this out and can't seem to do it.
I have been using Outlook, but it has too many whistles and bells and is way to slow, so I thought I'd give TB a try.
Can anyone explain IF this is possible, and if so, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

I know you figured it out but I've been using " Nokia Messaging email " and it works great, can set up tons of accounts easily... Just an Option
NME is a good alternative. In the beginning it was bugy and I stopped taking it onwards in my future considerations. Nowadays it is grown to a serious service. Def. something to count in your options!

Can't set up personal email account

My setup wizard doesn't not have a personal email set up option. I do not have the seperate email icon. I've spoken to Rogers support and they say my IMEI number is locked with another carrier. I don't know who the carrier is because this is a used unlocked BB. Also tried to resend service books a couple of times but that didn't seem to work. Anyone can help? Thanks

Hiya!
Those sound like 2 separate issues really. if its unlocked... its not locked to a carrier
But the reason why you would not have a personal email option is because your device isnt registered on the BIS network. Do you know if you have a Blackberry data plan with Rogers?
If you are 100% sure you do. go here
http://rogers.blackberry.com
and login/register
try and setup your personal email there. if you cannot. you dont have the plan on your account

How do I set up bellsouth email account on ipad?

Everytime I try to set up a bellsouth email account, I get the message that the user name and password are incorrect. Seems like some kind of issue as I have never had trouble setting up mail from any other type of account. Help!

You do not need to specify the type of account. If its IMAP, when you add the account it will detect that automatically.
Alternatively, you can enter a fake email address and password when adding the account, and wait for the process to fail, you should then get an option at the top to select between IMAP and POP3
You can then change the details of the account to the correct ones.
