4)  Choose POP3 account type
 
 
POP3 Downloads the email and stores it on your phone. You can delete mail right from your phone and keep your server disc space clean.

(IMAP Does not download the email to your phone.  Instead it simply "views" the email on the server, so emails backup and eventually you'll run out of disc space. )
