POP3 means Post Office Protocol version 3. It is the most popular email server for personal email accounts. Some examples of POP email accounts include Yahoo, Gmail and AOL. Setting up a POP3 email account for your Treo Smartphone is relatively easy if you follow these easy steps.
Instructions
1. Gather some necessary information you will need for your setup process. This information includes your email user name, your email password, your account type, your incoming mail server, and your outgoing mail server.
2. Go to the "Messaging" option on your phone. Press "Menu" then "Tools" and "New Account." Enter the email address or account that you would like to set up in your phone, then press "Next."
3. Wait for the action to complete. Next, your Smartphone will begin searching for compatible settings associated with that email type. When the Status bar says "Completed," hit "Next."
4. Enter some of your information, including your name, username and password. It will also ask you if you want to save your password for future logins. Choose whichever option you desire and hit "Next."
5. Enter your account information. It will now ask you for your account type and also to name your account. If you choose to have more than one email account accessible through your device, this option will identify your account in the list of email accounts in your "Messaging" application. Next, you will be asked to enter your server information, including your incoming mail, outgoing mail and domain. For POP3 accounts, you can leave the domain option blank. That will be filled in automatically. For incoming and outgoing mail, consult your email server for this information.
6. Select Options. On the first screen, check the box to enable email checking. If this is your personal account, choose your connection setting as "The Internet." Press "Next." On the next screen, decide how far back you want your device to receive email. The default is 3 days but that can be changed easily.
7. Choose your message options. Next you will be asked how much of a message you wish to see when you sync. Select "Finish." You'll be asked whether you want to download mail for the new account now. Select "Yes" or "No."
