POP3
POP3 (Post Office
Protocol 3) is the most recent version of a standard protocol for
receiving e-mail. 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, probably using POP3. This standard
protocol is built into most popular e-mail products, such as Eudora
and Outlook Express. It's also built into the Netscape and Microsoft
Internet Explorer browsers.
POP3 is designed to delete mail on the server as soon as the user
has downloaded it. However, some implementations allow users or an
administrator to specify that mail be saved for some period of time.
POP can be thought of as a "store-and-forward" service.
An alternative protocol is Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).
IMAP provides the user more capabilities for retaining e-mail on the
server and for organizing it in folders on the server. IMAP can be
thought of as a remote file server.
POP and IMAP deal with the receiving of e-mail and are not to be
confused with the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), a protocol
for transferring e-mail across the Internet. You send e-mail with
SMTP and a mail handler receives it on your recipient's behalf. Then
the mail is read using POP or IMAP.
