Win 8 Mail Won’t Support POP, What To Do?

Beverly Williams from United States writes: I currently have used my email address with Time Warner Roadrunner many, many years. After buying a Win 8 laptop find MS won't support pop servers accounts. RR told me MS hasn't told them how to configure their email and to access it through the web which is slow and few options that Windows Mail used to provide. I looked into buying MS Outlook, over $100, but even then think it won't support my accessing Roadrunner through it. What's the best option for me?
