Whats the difference between a POP3 account and a forwarding account?

A POP3 email account receives and stores email on the email server here at Fpweb.net. You log into the account directly to retrieve mail. A forwarding account uses your Fpweb.net domain name (you@yourdomain.com), but sends the mail to another email account that you specify. The other account can be anywhere; you@aol.com, you@home.com, etc. The messages are not stored on our server, but rather “forwarded” to the other target email account. Each Fpweb.net account includes three or more POP3 email addresses and unlimited email forwarding.
