I have one e-mail account that still seems to be based on the POP protocol rather than POP3. I cannot get Thunderbird to accept a POP account, it only offers POP3 or IMAP, there is no other option, as a result I cannot access the account through Thunderbird, Outlook on the other hand has no problem. How do I resolve this issue?

re: I have one e-mail account that still seems to be based on the POP protocol rather than POP3.

Are you sure? POP3 is the current standard compliant and has been so for ages / years.

What settings are you using in Outlook: Incoming Server name : ? Port: ? Connections Security : ? Authentication Method: ?

What comes after the @ in your email address?
