How do I set up a POP email account
I am trying to set up a new email address with a local ISP, and nobody can tell me how to set it up as POP. Whatever I do always comes up IMAP.
I have spoken with the tech support at the ISP, and they say their accounts are generic, and that whether it behaves as POP or IMAP depends on how I set it up in Apple Mail. I have spoken with Apple technical support, and they say that the new account setup in Mail takes on the identity of what the ISP set up - and nowhere do I see an option to select POP or IMAP.
So I have two technical gurus each pointing at the other, and effectively saying "you do it". So which is correct?
Is there any way that the new email account setup in Mail can be coerced into setting up the incoming mail server as POP? Or is there another way out of this dilemma?
How should I proceed?
Paul.
P.S. I'm on the new M1 iMac with Monterey OS.
