What is POP3 Email Server ?
| POP3 (Incoming) E-mail Server |
|
Post Office Protocol 3 is the most recent version of a standard protocol for receiving email. POP3 is a client/server protocol in which e-mail is received and held for you by your Internet server. Periodically, you (or your client e-mail receiver) check your mail-box on the server and download any mail. POP3 is built into the Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers. POP3 accounts allow clients to have a private e-mail address where they can exchange email with anyone they wish at anytime. Each POP3 email account comes with its own login and password. The login is set by the characters preceding the at sign "@" in the e-mail address. The password is determined by the client when the POP3 account is setup. |
