When I upgraded my MacBook Air from Mojave to Big Sur, the POP email from my personal domain vanished. The web hosting company does not offer IMAP. How can I make Apple Mail handle POP?

Yes that is the Mail trick— the set up the account to accept POP.
Use the "Other" and trick it by supplying a bogus email address— this will prompt for more options to server settings...and here you can select POP

It took some additional fiddling around to get POP email account to work, but adding the new account and using a bogus email address got me through the first level of the puzzle. It looks like some email may have lost in the process, but I didn't have anything archival on this machine. If you try doing this for a machine that has vital archival email, you may need to use Time Machine to recover the older stuff. Because I used my Apple ID to set the account up on my laptop (which I upgraded to Big Sur), and as a result a duplicate copy of the account appearing on my desktop.
Thanks
You can force it to a manual setup by entering bogus information for the password/account name.
