You need to contact your ISP to find out the appropriate settings for your
POP3 mail server, or they may have a web page that gives you that
information. Since you don't tell us what ISP you are connecting to, we
can't really be of much help other than to advise you that the setting you
show for a POP3 server name of "POP3" is most likely not correct and you
have made an error creating the account. The message is telling you that
when it states "The host POP3 could not be found" since there is no mail
host at that location.
