iPhone Email account

My email account was originally set up on iPhone as a POP account. Mysteriously it stopped being able to send emails. I deleted the account and tried to set it up again. However, I no longer see the option to set up as a POP account. It automatically sets up as IMAP. I liked POP since I could delete emails from the iPhone and never have them deleted from the server. With IMAP, when I delete from iPhone it also deletes from the server. How can I continue to use email with a POP account?

iPhone X, iOS 15

Ask your email provider how to set it up a pop account.
