Email defaults to POP server instead of IMAP

Here is a trick for you. When setting it up, intentionally enter the wrong password, you will then see a failure and and be allowed to manually configure the email account. On top of the screen will show an option to use either POP or IMAP. After changing to IMAP, then enter the correct Password. Don't forget to enter that same Password for the SMTP server as well. The SMTP section of the mail settings is for sending emails and IMAP/POP is for receiving, but they both have a Password section even though it is the same password. And you will also need to enter the server address used by your email provider for IMAP.
