(If this seems repetitious, sorry but I've been prompted to ask my question again.)
The only option appears to be IMAP, which I don't want.

Apple seems to be forcing the IMAP on iOS devices. Tried on my iPhone running 7.1.2 also. Defaulted right to IMAP. There is a workaround though.
>>> Note: POP3 is not recommended for mobile devices / tablets <<<
How to set up POP3 on iOS 7.1.2:
- Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
- Select Add Account
- Scroll down and choose Other
- Select Add Mail Account
- Enter your name.
- To force iOS to give you the options, enter your email with @telus.com as the domain. << This is key
- Enter your usual Password and any Description you want
- Select Next
- Choose the POP tab at the top.
- Correct your email address
- Enter the server information. Use pop.telus.net as the incoming server and ensure your username and password are present.
- Use smtp.telus.net as the outgoing server.
- Click Save and you are done.

Hi Nighthawk
I had missed your message. Many apologies!
More to the point, you solved my problem. Actually I had stumbled on a similar suggestion for forcing the POP option to show (typing an incorrect password). But your tip, with step-by-step instructions, prompted me to discover a mistake I'd been making. For user name I'd been entering my full email address instead of just the first half. (Some suggest that when troubleshooting gmail).
Anyway, thanks very much!
