I use pop3 but it gives this error:There was an error in sending the email message. Please check your connection details provided and try again.

You don’t use IMAP nor POP3 to send emails. You use SMTP

I highly doubt it. POP3 is not a protocol to send emails but to retrieve emails (and quite an old one). To send emails SMTP is used

Email connection can be with pop3 or imap

i connect it with pop3, but i couldnt use Email:reply

to use Email:reply action , do i have to use imap, or it can be done with pop3?

No worries! Basically this:

You must specify your email smtp server host, port and also if smtp host uses secure connection and any basic authentication if needed. Hope it helps

Thanks, I did exactly the same but somehow it gave me the error which i implied in my question details.

Then i thought if i cant do email:reply by connection:Email with pop3.

I dont know what i might do wrong.

Thanks for your replies tho

How about a screenshot of your step, like Andoni did. You mention you did “the exact same thing” but haven’t said if this is a GMail account or other, if it ever worked, etc. We need more information to assist.
