Trying to change account settings as directed by error message (email not downloading) but no place to revise settings on my existing account. Specific options I was told to turn off are "leave on server" "Maximum message size" and "fetch header only"

Are you sure it is a POP account?

IIRC, these options are in plain sight in Account Settings for a POP connected account, that is, I don't think you need to open the Advanced options. But these options are not offered on an IMAP connected account.

At the top of the Server Settings page, what does it say at "server type"?
