How do I turn Mail Drop alert back on???

Okay, so I've just started trialling Mail Drop on a non-Apple POP mail account.

Every time you attach something large a window would pop-up saying 'Do you want to use Mail Drop' which I would click to use.
As I found it was working okay after a few trials I clicked the option for 'Do not ask me again for this account' which I foolishly assumed meant that it would switch to using Mail Drop by default.

It doesn't. It means I no longer get the alert or have the Mail Drop option for that account!!!!

Does anyone have any idea how to turn this alert back on or to make Mail Drop use default?

Okay, have talked with Apple Support & the answer is a weird one.
This is no 'official' way to turn Mail Drop on & off for anything but IMAP accounts.
There is however a work-around.
You need to go into the settings of an IMAP account, toggle 'Send large attachments with Mail Drop' on & off (or off & on) and then quit & restart Mail app.
This will reset the window for POP accounts.
I would have though having an on/off checkbox made more sense but hey, what do I know. I'm only an end-user & customer right?...
