ADVANTAGES OF POP EMAIL
When you have a POP email setup, you are only able to access your emails locally – downloading them would mean that you are only allowing one device to have your email data available for viewing. And that actually is the preferred way to go, especially if you foresee not having an internet connection for some time.
POP is kind of old school, as well, if you would like having just one place for all your email messages, your contacts, and the attachments that may come along with them.
HOW TO CONNECT YOUR EMAIL TO OUTLOOK (POP SETTINGS)

Then click on Add Account.

Check on the option that will appear: Let me set up my account manually. Then click on Connect. - From the list of options below, select POP.
