| What does POP mean? How does it work? POP stands
for Post Office Protocol. It is a protocol that mail programs use to
download mail from a POP mail server. The POP mail server receives your
e-mail when you are not connected to the Internet. Your mail is stored on
the server once you connect to the server through your e-mail client. The
e-mail client then sends a request to the POP mail server, and your e-mail
is transferred from the server to your computer. |
