What does POP3 mean?


POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol version 3. When an e-mail is sent
to you, it is stored on a server (called the POP3 server) until it is downloaded
via your e-mail client (Outlook, Netscape mail, etc.). After the e-mail has been downloaded to your client,
it is removed from the server.
