You'll have to add the account again but this time choose to use a POP3
account. Once added, you can remove the IMAP account.
Use Tools-> Account Settings for this.
Ask your ISP if you do not know the required server details and/or
credentials.

You can't change the account type - you have to create a new account.
Create the POP account. Move any emails you have stored in IMAP folders
other than the Inbox to local folders in your Personal Folders File, then
remove the IMAP account.
