What is the difference between POP, and forwarding /ailiasing e-mail accounts?
A POP (post office protocol) account is its own independent e-mail account, as opposed to an e-mail alias which merely forwards e-mail to another e-mail account. When someone sends mail to our POP account, the mail will be saved on our servers. An example of a POP account e-mail address is “info@a-w-c.com” You can access your POP account through Webmail, a browser-based POP Account reader. Webmail can be accessed from any computer by going to the address: https://mail.yournamehere.com:7443/scripts/webmail.exe and logging in with your user name and password. An e-mail alias is an address that automatically redirects your e-mail to another e-mail account. For example, if you set up your e-mail alias of “info@mycompany.com” pointing to “MyCompany@yahoo.com”, all mail sent to “info@mycompany.com” would automatically be redirected to “MyCompany@yahoo.com” This is done invisibly so that the sender does not see the actual e-mail address that the mail is being redirected to.
