messages to other users on the Internet. There are a

Eudora Pro, Outlook, and others. These clients have the
ability to create new messages, check mail on an Internet
mail server, and read mail. You can also attach files
to a message, enabling you to send documents, graphics,
programs, and other files over the Internet. |

Post
Office Protocol version 3 (POP3)
The type
of E-Mail accounts that the guides cover here are POP3
accounts, which are also refereed to as Post Office Protocol. POP3 is a remote access
protocol that allows you to receive e-mail from any server
on the Internet (that you have an account on) from any
computer connected to the Internet. The only requirements
that you have to meet are that your computer has a POP3-compatible
e-mail reader, such as Outlook Express, Netscape, or
Eudora, and that the e-mail server is configured to accept
POP3 requests. |
