How do I add a pop mail account in ios 15?

I'd like to set up a couple of mail accounts on my new iPad Pro, but would like to use POP instead of IMAP. The only way I see to do that is if the app fails to automatically set up the account (IMAP). Is there ANY way to initially create a POP account?

This search I was able to pull up a similar string of old.

Enter a bogus email and password like 'you@junk.com' and the remaining options indeed appear. Kudos D9F.
