What is a POP?
POP stands for Post Office Protocol. You can think of the POP as a physical mailbox. E-mail that is sent to a POP is stored at that POP and will sit there until you're ready to download it with your e-mail software (Netscape, Pegasus, AOL, Eudora, etc.) Each server comes with one default POP account. The default POP account is your username. The e-mail address used to send mail to this default POP would be username@domainname.com.
An Alias is simply a forwarding address. Mail sent to the alias you create is immediately forwarded to the POP of your choice or can even be sent to another alias. Aliases can be any "name" you want with your domain name. For example: anyname@yourdomain.com. Your e-mail alias(es) can forward to any of your existing e-mail accounts. Using aliases, you can have anynameyouchoose@mycompany.com forward to mycomp@mycompany.com.
So by checking only one account, you can get all the mail sent to aliases sales@mycompany.com, johndoe@mycompany.com, etc. You can also forward to an existing alias, to additional POP Accounts you set up, or even to your e-mail address provided to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP.)
An e-mail client is a programme which is a base or platform to send and receive your mails. To set up your e-mail software (Netscape, Eudora, Pegasus...etc.) to receive your mail, you must enter specific information in each program's setup menus. SMTP refers to simple mail transfer protocol. You must tell your e-mail client the name of your outgoing mail server, sometimes referred to as SMTP. For the domain name "yourdomain.ext" your outgoing mail server should be set to: --> mail.yourdomain.ext Just replace "yourdomain" with your full domain name and ".ext" with your domain name extension. (.com, .net, .org, etc.) In order to receive your e-mail from your server, you must enter the name of your incoming or POP3 server. For the domain name "yourdomain.ext" your incoming server should be set to: --> mail.yourdomain.ext Just replace "yourdomain" with your full domain name and ".ext" with your domain name extension. (.com, .net, .org, etc.) This is the username of your POP. Each POP must have a unique username. This is the password of your POP. Each POP must have a unique password.
