I can't send an email. I keep getting this message:

The host 'pop3' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the

"Pop3" is not a normal host name. Unless your provider gave it to you as
an alias, a name like that is completely wrong for a server. You need to
ask your provider for their server names. Something like
"mail.provider.invalid", or "smtp.provider.invalid" is what you need.
