Hello, after last update I'm unable to login on account which is added with POP. After deleting it and adding with IMAP all is fine but I want to have this account with POP. It shows that e-mail or password is wrong however when I use IMAP and using all same settings it works. Any ideas?

re :I'm unable to login on account which is added with POP What server are you talking about ? The password and/or email address may be correct but the server settings are wrong. So what server settings are you using ?

For example if you are talking about gmail POP then you need to logon to gmail webmail account and set up to use 'less secure apps' and be prepared that gmail will periodically deliberately block you, thus requiring you to log on to webmail and reset the 'less secure apps' option.
