4. This dialog box will appear, select Accounts




5. Next, click the small "+" symbol in the bottom left corner of the window, just below the list of other accounts.




6. The Accounts window will appear, Select, POP as the account type.

   Finally, Click Continue
   
   NOTE: Apple Mail also supports IMAP email accounts. If you must use IMAP, simply select IMAP instead POP3. (IMAP and POP3 are email protocols, whose coverage is beyond the scope of the Apple Mail Tutorial.)
