IMAP vs POP setting on phone?

After several hours on the phone yesterday with Charter and Verizon, I thought i had my problems solved.  Phone seemed to be working.  However, this is where I am today:

 

Phone receives e-mail but won't send.  Laptop email (Charter and Outlook) will send but won't receive.

I have a splitting headache and am really tired of trying to be a tech detective.  However, I did find this on Charter's web page, which is different from the settings Verizon gives you for Charter e-mail through outlook. 

Wonder if it's the difference between IMAP and POP setting?  Put IMAP setting on phone, but noticed that Charter outlook on laptop has pop setting.  Anybody know?

 

 

 

 

This site has the basic settings necessary to configure your Fascinate to connect to Charter's e-mail servers:

Mobile Email Settings - Charter Communications
