POP E-mail

POP (Post Office Protocol) email is the most common form of email.  In our context here, POP email addresses will refer to email that is sent to your web site's domain name.  (For example, if your domain name is abc.com, then your POP email addresses would be you@abc.com, him@abc.com, her@abc.com, etc.)  These email accounts can (and usually do) have individual login IDs and passwords.

Comments:

POP E-mail has both advantages and disadvantages when compared with free email services offered by companies like Yahoo! and MSN HotMail.  Unlike these free services, your email is not stored on a public web server where it faces potential security risks.  However, it also means that you will usually have to use an email program like MS Outlook [Express] or Lotus Notes to access your email. 

POP E-mail Advantages

• Usually no restrictions on the size of your email attachments either coming in or going out.
• Larger capacity email account (Allows you to keep more of your saved email messages.)
• Greater degree of privacy from advertisers and SPAM.

NOTES:

• Some free email services will allow you to setup your free account to access your POP email accounts also.
