A POP (Post Office Protocol) email address is an address that stores messages in a mailbox on our mail server. Mail can be retrieved or sent out from this email box using a POP mail client (email reader), such as Outlook Express or Netscape Mail.
Follow these steps to configure Outlook Express or Netscape Mail to access POP accounts.
i. Select Accounts... from the Tools pull-down menu.
ii. You will see a list of all the different accounts that you have Outlook Express configured to use. Click on Add... and select Mail... to add a new email account.
iii. Then you will be guided step by step by the Account Wizard. Please pay special attention to the following:
For Mail Server Type, select "POP3".
For Incoming Mail, enter "mail.yourdomain.com".
For Outgoing Mail, enter "smtp.yourisp.com".

For POP account name: user%yourdomain.com
*Where user = the email user id for the account.

When you finish these steps, you should be able to retrieve email from your POP account. Menus may slightly vary if you are using a different version.
