This is a follow on from w w w . blackberryforums.com/general-blackberry-discussion/217359-how-force-pop3-instead-imap.html. (Sorry about the expanded link - only my second post)
I have BIS on O2 (UK) with several email addresses. The other day I had to reload the OS, and it seemed the only way to get the email working was to delete the email addresses and reload them. However, one of the email servers uses the sames server address for POP3 and IMAP, and I cannot seem to get it to configure as POP3.
I have tried leaving out the password, but then the (PC based) dialogue only offers the opportunity to put in the server and not the access method.
In response to the expected question of "why POP3", I have the system set up so that I can synch my desktop and Laptop and avoid large downloads to the laptop when it is on a dongle.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
