The reason you are getting the IMAP default is when you put in your correct email address. The TP goes out and reads the email and determines that it is an IMAP account and codes it in without asking you what type of email it really is. I had to put in a dummy email address, like putting .net instead of .com, and then the next screen asked me what type of email account I was trying to setup. I set it up and them later edited the email address to the correct. That was the only way I could figure out how to make the choice myself versus the auto-sensing behaviour the TP seems to take.
