setup POP account in Sonoma

You have to choose Other account, Mail Account and enter fake username and password.

It should then give you the opportunity to set it up manually.

Having problems setting up POP mail account with new Sonoma OS. It wants to revert to IMAP.

POP3 accounts are set up on other Mac and iphones, and all operate properly.

Unless you have a good reason, convert your pop accounts to the newer and more advanced IMAP protocol.

Thanks. But until now POP3 works for us, using different devices, [not synchronised], and available off line.

If it works for you great.

If you use POP email is downloaded to your device which first access the email account. If you use IMAP email is synchronized across all devices accessing the email account. Using IMAP is safer and more accessible.
