You sure you definitely have the option to choose imap or pop? I'm
asking as when I created my Sky mail account it didn't allow me to
select imap or pop. SO I had to go into my account settings on the web
and disable imap. I was then told that the account couldn't be verified
but that was ok. I was then able to select pop and set it up.

Hi Donald,
When you started to set up the account, i.e. after you click on "Add
Account", you should see a list of account types. Among them would be
Exchange, Gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo etc. Select "Other" at the very bottom.
On the next screen you have to select "Add Mail Account" as this Other
option also let's you configure other stuff.
Now you get the initial setup screen where you can enter your full name,
email address, password and what you want to call the account.
Fill out these fields and then double tap "Next".
On the next screen you then have the option to set up the account either as
IMAP or POP. Select POP.
Now fill in the rest of the fields like the incoming and outgoing mail
server, your user name which may not be the same as your email address
depending on your provider. The password field still has the correct entry
from the first screen so you don't have to fill that out again.
Hope this helps,
Sieghard

Subject: Setting up a new Pop3 account
I hope to get some straight forward info regarding how to set up a Pop3
email account
on my iPhone 3GS. In the past, with a couple of exceptions, the only
responses I have received
have been to praise the superiority of Imap over Pop3 or else asking me
to supply
the port numbers. I know the port numbers and security settings, and I
prefer pop3.
Please would someone provide straight forward info as to how to do this.
The account I wish to set up is with Pacbell.net, so I didn't need to
check out Yahoo, Gmail, or any of the others. I have gone into settings,
mail and contacts, add account and other. There I have successfully
entered my name, my user name, and my password after which I click on
the continue
button. At that point, Imap appears to be the only account type choice.
It does
appear however that if I go into the advanced settings, I can change the
port numbers
and perhaps other parameters.
I would appreciate knowing just what I am missing.
Thanks for any assistance regarding this issue.
Don Roberts
