Without the PFA you have to have a static IP address in order to receive e-mail. You configure the GWIA to connect to your ISP on a regular schedule, sending any outbound messages and requesting any inbound messages. Your ISP’s mail server then resolves your IP address and sends mail to GWIA on a new session. With POP forwarding your ISP delivers your mail to a POP mailbox and the PFA downloads and forwards the mail. You do not need a static IP address to use the PFA. You do not need to setup ‘Dial-up’ on the GWIA when you use the PFA.
