Just so you're aware, POP and IMAP are incoming protocols and SMTP is the standard outgoing protocol. IMAP and SMTP are not interchangeable as they pertain to two different email services.
Depending on your email service (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, etc.) you need to configure your email app with the appropriate settings for both incoming and outgoing. A lot of email apps now do this automatically if you just enter your email address and password when it comes to the popular, well established email services, but the option to manually enter the necessary info is an option in every email client app. Since that's apparently not the case for your set up, go the web site of your chosen email service and search for the required setting to set up the email account on an email client, they all have them somewhere.

Wouldn't be so great for me. I've had long stretches of time without Internet access. If I relied on your method, I'd have lost access to any mail I may have needed to refer back to for some reason. But it's really the "I like to be in control" factor that keeps me using a mail client, and saving, archiving, or deleting mail as *I* see fit. In 35 years of using e-mail, it's never been a problem...until GM. *shrug*
