POP3 is where you store your e-mail on your mail server from your domain name. You then configure your mail client (for example – Outlook, Netscape Messenger or Eudora) to read your e-mail directly from your e-mail server. When configuring for POP3, you have to use your own POP3/Incoming mail server, and the username and password we issued to you. Forwarding/Redirecting is when the mail server forwards e-mail to your local ISP or any other e-mail address instead of storing it in your default or extra POP account. You can have a different number of e-mail redirects (depending on your hosting plan). All free of charge!
