Now, in case your server has denied the POP access. Then you can:

• Type a new app password, if you are using a two-step verification.
• Enter mail.domain.com and select port 110 in the “POP Server”, if you are using a work or school account.
• Enter POP.gmail.com and select port 995 in the “POP Server”, if you are using Google MX records with your work/school account.
• In case, if you still can’t sign in, then turn “access to less secure apps” on and turn off your “security code or distorted text”.

In case of a different error, you can:

• Click on “Show error details”
• If POP is disabled – go to the settings of your other email account and enable the POP.
• If POP is not available- it means your email provider does not support POP. You can “import old message” and “auto-forward the new ones”.

If you are still having errors then you should take the help from “troubleshoot problems with mail fetcher”.
