1. What is a POP3 E-mail Account? [ top ]
A POP3 e-mail account is a special kind of e-mail account that comes with a login and password. These kind of e-mail accounts use the Post Office Protocol version 3.

2. What is the difference between POP3 E-mail Account and a regular e-mail account? [ top ]
Take a hotmail e-mail account versus a POP3 account you setup on your server as an example. With your hotmail account, you cannot use an external e-mail client to check for new messages or send outgoing messages. Instead, you must visit the hotmail website, log into your account in order to perform these functions. You are subjected to advertisements and the process is restricted to a web-interface.
On the other hand, your POP3 accounts are accessible from any compatible e-mail client. This allows for added functionality on your side (such as the ability to check for new messages every so often, create filters, etc.). If you prefer a web-based e-mail system, you can use the WebMail system, accessible at https://webmail.yourdomain.com. You can also get to your WebMail from the Ultrapresence home page.
