1. Click Add another content type.

2. Select Mail Content radio button.

3. In the POP3 server field, enter pop.gmail.com.

Refer to the documentation of your mail server since this is subject to configuration. For example, Gmail allows you to leave a copy of the retrieved messages in your inbox, so that you do not lose any of your emails. For more information see Gmail POP3 configuration settings.
