[nabs-l] Problem with setting up my college email on my Apex

[Vejas]

Hi
Unfortunately the Apex does not support Imap, so Sami, and all Apex users for that matter,  are  stuck with POP.

>> I know this question has recently been asked before, but I'm having a problem with setting up my college email account on my Apex.  I'll be starting my college classes next week, and thought that I could use my Apex for reading/writing my emails to make things easier.  I unfortunately wasn't able to obtain the POP and SMTP information, either at freshman orientation or through emails with the coordinator of Disability Services.  I tried different things, for example not entering any POP or Smtp information but changing the port numbers (which are different from the default settings with my Verizon account,) and then changing them back to the default, but neither of those worked.  I can also access the emails just fine on my iPhone, by creating it as though it were a Gmail (Google account, without the need to enter any information beside my name, email address, and password.  So as you can see, I can access my college emails on my phone just fine, but not on my Apex.
>> 
>> Therefore, I have a few questions for you Apex users out there: 1.  Is it required for all email accounts you create on the Apex to enter POP and SMTP information? 2.  If the answer to my first question is yes, how can I obtain this information? Could I possibly get it before class starts? Another concern that came to my attention is that not everyone out there is the most technologically advanced individual, so how can I explain it to them if they get confused, and what if they tell me afterwords that they still can't find the information I requested? 3.  I know that a lot of you guys on this list use Gmail accounts, including you other Apex users.  Did you have to enter that information when creating your account since Gmail uses iMap and not POP?
