How to set up a POP email account

I did what the iphone instruction told me to do but just failed to add my POP email onto the 3G iphone.
Anyone can help?

Turn it on airplane mode. Then set up you new account with all of your credentials. Save, once it allows it. Turn Airplane mode off, and then go back and select POP.

How to set up just an email account? - it's not working

Hi there,
Could someone please let me know how to set up just an email account for a staff member?
I tried "E-mail Accounts" - Add an email account - but the password verification NEVER comes through. I've tried send password recoved but does not work (ive deleted it and tried 3 different Password recovery e-mails - gmail / local and another BC one too).. nothing is working.
So then I read the knowledge base which is out of date:
http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/000/bc_8.html?bc-partner says to set up an email account you need to go to Site Users (which doesn't exist) to tick "enable email" - so I tried Admin users but it has no email only option..

Hi Dandy,
You can still switch to V2 view to find things. Something I am still doing when I do these irregular jobs, as they only happen when a site goes live and that will only be once a month for us. Twice some months.
Although I just tried going to V2 and getting up the V3 view, but it didn't send me to the page I wanted.
I notice that there is a new tab in V3 called Email accounts, where you can set up email accounts now. Try there.
You will need to have the user set up first under Admin Users and User Roles first I expect.
Also check workflows are set up properly once you have gone into Email Accounts and set up the email address.
Or maybe just go back to V2 and do it all there. Click in top rh corner to get back to it.

How to set up basic POP email on N8

I've been reading up on all the email discussions about the N8, and it seems like some things work fine, while others need more development.
In my case, I would like to set up email using a basic POP email account setup. I have no need for "push" email right now - as I see it, receiving an email every half hour or so on my phone is an improvement over waiting until I get to my PC.
Ideally, I would like to leave the messages on my email server, so they will later on be downloaded to my PC.
I've noticed the following in one of the email discussions here:
"Cant believe no one else has responded with this before given the time this thread spans. I had this problem until I deleted and re-created my email (POP) accounts and then NOT accept the TOS at the end of the setup process. If you say YES and accept the terms, then your email accts get setup thru the Nokia messaging service and sent emails may get saved somewhere, but certainly not on the phone. You do not have to say yes to the TOS, just decline and finish setting up the email account."
Since I'm perfectly happy with the way email works on my laptop, using my existing servers, I think I should decline the TOS as described above.
I've found lots of guides on how to set up email on the N8. Can anyone here recommend one for how to do (only) what I need, in order to manually set up POP email on a N8, using the identical server information and settings that I now have on my laptop? Or, if this doesn't exist, can someone post the necessary steps here?
Thanks!!!

I have had a little play with this but will just outline what I found seems to happen because I did not thoroughly test it. Others experiences may be different.
If setting up a new account and one selects one of the listed email service providers and not "Other" then it sets up an IMAP account and gives the choices that Rayhipkiss describes together with the terms and conditions acceptance request. This can be seen after the setting up by looking in the settings for the server (which often, maybe always?, is a nokia.supl.imap one). If one deletes the server and server ports and replaces them with the same email service provider's pop and smtp servers and ports then the same setup choices that Ray mentions still remain. Once the account is set up you can always go back and change the server and port entries in the N8 setup for that account (see below for a difference).
However, even though one has set the pop ports it still seems to do an imap connection - this can be tested by setting up a Gmail account where one can turn off and on allowing imap server connections in the settings on ones Gmail account's setting on the webmail site. One finds that disallowing imap connections but allowing pop connections blocks the N8 even if one has entered the pop servers and ports on the N8.
Now, if when setting up the account on the N8 one selects "Other" it normally (see below) gets one to enter the address and pass for the account and then goes straight to allowing you to enter the servers and ports. Now if one enters these and it then takes one straight to the client for you to collect and send email. But now if you go back into settings for that account one gets the setting choices that I outlined i.e. the one that includes "Don't sync to server". If set up as a pop account it seems to behave as a pop account - for example, if one turns on the imap servers at the Gmail denying pop connections then if one tries to collect mail Gmail comes back with a certificate error (the certificate is for imap not pop). Unlike the settings menu giving the other settings Ray outlines this settings menu does not allow one to nominate a reply to address different to the address sent from and nor does it allow one to go back and change the server and ports. To change the server and ports as far as I can see if set up this way one has to reset up the account from the start.
OK, even stranger, then what I found is if I set up an account using the offered service providers, not using the "Other" choice then deleted that account and then reset up the same account using the "Other" choice it then behaved as Ray outlines including the terms and conditions acceptance request and also behaves as an imap account even if one enters the pop servers and ports. So the "Other" account setup choice seems to behave differently according to whether one has previously setup that account using one of the non "Other" service provider choices or not?????
I don't know if anyone wants to experiment further and discover more or clarify the behaviours. I just did some quick playing around so did not analyse it much, however the above is the general gist of what I found. It is sometime since I set up email accounts on my E52 but from memory it behaved much the same way as the N8 does and is generally weak on handling pop accounts - in fact I would suggest that many who think they are using pop servers will find that behind the scenes it is really using imap ones.
A real downer for me is for a pop account there seems to be no way to set up a reply to address in the sent emails that is different to the address sent from. This need for me being due to the way I manage emails across several machines.
I'm off to have a beer

Does anyone know a workaround for setting up a POP email account using 8? Worked before I upgraded. Apple level 2 support has no idea. Thanks

Cannot set up my POP email account

I have a POP email account from my hosting service. At home I use this with Apple Mail, with the outgoing server to be my ISP. Works fine.
I have tried entering all this info on the Touch, and it spins a long time verifying pop settings" and then fails.
Sometimes I get a dialog about a bad certificate, or about trying without SSL, which i say yes to. But no luck.
My Mobile Me and Google accounts work fine.
Help!?

How do I set up a POP email account (not an LDAP account)

When I try to establish a new email account with my COX provider, the mail program defaults to an LDAP account. LDAP doesn't seem to allow me to leave my messages on the COX server after I have read and deleted them on my MACBook. The POP protocol allows messages to be left on the server for a specific number of days
How do I force the account to be set up as a POP account?.

Howdy Jerry,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to setup your COX email account as a POP account in Mail on your MacBook Pro, which is running OS X Mountain Lion. The first article will guide you to the Mail account configuration panes where you can make the change, but I recommend reading the other two articles linked below also because they will tell you more about the types of email accounts that Mail supports and ensure the accounts are setup in a way that won’t cause more issues in the future.
Mail (Mountain Lion): Send and receive mail for all your accounts
Set up your accounts
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Click an account type, enter your account information, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
Make sure the apps you want to use with the account are selected.
Mail (Mountain Lion): About account types
Mail settings you might need from your email provider
I hope this helps.

TS3276 how do you change a Pop email account to a IMAP

One of our family's email accounts does not work properly. We have multiple Apple products. My son's email was originally set up on my MacBook Pro as a Pop account. Then it was set up on my iphone as a Pop account. Next it was set up on the Ipad as an IMAP account because that was how my daughter's email was set up on it. The email works on the MacBook every once in awhile. It works on my iphone whenever a new email is incoming. The rest of the time it says invalid password. AT&T says that MacBook Pros can't handle Pop email. (although it used to work just fine) How can I change his email from a Pop to an IMAP?

MacBook Pro's (along with any other Macintosh) can handle POP email just fine. The email type is set by your mail provider, so you just need to create a mail account (in the Mail preferences) with the settings they specify.

Can't set up a pop email account

I have a new iPhone 4S.
I have 3 email addresses, 2 work fine but my other can only accept mail, I can't send from it. I have deleted the account and set it up again but it's the same. I have just noticed that even though I have put my pop incoming and outgoing server addresses, it has set it up as an IMAP account and I can't seem to change it or even choose to set up a POP account so consequently I can't use it.
I synch my iPad and iPhone though iTunes [I am not using iClud or Mobile Me] and it all synchs fine onto my iPad which is showing the troublesome account as a Pop account and not an IMAP, it's only on my new phone that I cant set it as a POP account.
Can anyone help?

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
If you created a new account then you can log out of the old account and in with the new one as above, but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can re-download its content and download updates to its apps.

How to set up additional mac email account?

If I have a mac email address already established, can I set up more than one on my iMac? Seems like the answer is yes, but attempts this morning only bollixed my Mac mail account.

Keep trying that but it crashes. Obviously the 2nd account I tried to set up is creating a disconnect. Answer my basic question first. If I already have a mac /icloud email account established long ago, can I add/establish another mac email account, or do you just get one?
