Copy and paste the entire error message in this thread instead of typing.
One little dot or space makes a big difference.

You need to contact your ISP's technical support to get your Mail configured
properly to work with their mail server.
You may be able to find instructions online as provided by your ISP. The
setup is very similar to that for Outlook Express.

"pop" is not a valid mail server name. You get the correct mail
server names from your mail provider. Who provides your email service?
Or to ask that question another way, what is the part of your email
address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider. If you currently don't have an email
address, we can help with that also.

you need to enter the correct server names and settings.
Your email account provider has that information.
They should have a help page on their website.
If you tell us who provides your email account, perhaps someone can assist
you.
