Adding POP3/SMTP to iPod 8.1

emailimapipodsmtp

My daughter was using my old iPod Version 6.1.3/Model MC54LL/A, and Santa just brought her her own iPod Version 8.1/ModelPD717LL/A.

I had her email going to my old iPod. It is going through my own server which is a POP3 server type with POP3 incoming on port 110 and SMTP outgoing on port 25 or port 2525 (with SMTP-AUTH outgoing server authentication).

I added the email account settings to the new iPod, but it shows up as an IMAP account.

How do I change the settings to old school POP instead of IMAP?

When adding the account and you select the 'Other' option for the account type, at the top is a switch for IMAP and POP3. By default it is IMAP - you just need to change it to POP3.
