Mail setup details
How do I set up an email account for a POP3 server that need authentication? The Mail setup under preferences does not go into enough detail for this.

Apple mail does not make it clear how to setup a POP account. You need to select other and then put in a bogus email and/or PW then the next screen will give you a choice to set up a POP account. However, many if not all providers now want to use a new PW that they generate for POP account. You will need to go the provider's email web site to get the PW and follow the install process. Much easier to setup an IMAP account.
