What kind of account are you trying to set up? A Gmail account?

If it's a POP3 account provided by your ISP, you'll have to ask your ISP for the settings.

For Gmail...

You can use the following information to configure POP with many mail clients.

If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions.

code:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995 
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587 
Account Name:  your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') 
Email Address:  your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com) 
Password:  your Gmail password 

You need to enable POP in the Gmail Settings too....

* Did you click 'Save Changes' after enabling POP in Gmail? To ensure that Gmail can communicate with your mail client, be sure to click 'Save Changes' on the Gmail 'Mail Settings' page.

Please refer to already made threads about this subject.

Gmail does NOT support POP3 mail like a normal POP3 mail server would, therefore there are "problems" with it (not only with Plus!, but with ANY standard pop3 mail client).

Please see
MsgPlus! 3.5 Pop3 Gmail Limitations.


also link to the Gmail pop3 help-center rather then quoting only a part of it: http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=194
