POP3 must be enabled on the server from which the client downloads e-mail messages and reads them.
Key Takeaway: SMTP and POP3 are often confusing when it comes to applications used for sending and receiving e-mail. SMTP is used to transmit e-mail messages. POP3 is a client/server protocol that receives e-mails and holds it on the server. This standard protocol (SMTP) is built into most popular e-mail products, such as Eudora and Outlook Express.
