What is a POP3 email account?
POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) is a protocol used for downloading email messages from an email server to your computer. With a POP3 email account, all of the email messages sent to your email address are stored on a POP3 mail server until you log on to the server and download the messages. Hostway provides POP3 email accounts with every hosting plan. You can use SiteMail, Hostways Web-based email application, to download your messages from the server or you can use a traditional email client such as Microsoft Outlook, Eudora or Netscape Communicator.
A POP3 email account is a “real” email account. Emails sent to POP3 email accounts get stored on our server, within your hosting account. To get your emails, you have to login and retrieve them. You can easily setup your own email program (i.e. Outlook Express, Eudora, etc) to automatically login and download your emails periodically, as well as send your emails out.
A Post Office Protocol, version 3 (POP3) account or POP3 Email Account or POP Box is an independent email account based on a standard set of rules. They are typically email boxes that have their own unique username and password. When someone sends email to your POP account (e.g., info@company.com), the mail is saved on our servers. To retrieve POP email messages, a user must provide the correct email address, User ID, and password.
