Hi Chris, If you choose "Other" as the account type you absolutely positively do get to a screen where you can choose "Pop" or "IMAP", but it's on a screen with a bunch of stuff so I could see how it might be easily missed.

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. > > > Christopher Hallsworth > > On 06/02/2013 01:26, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: >> 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.
