<p>Kristinaboss: </p> <hr /> <div>'''POP3''': acronymic for '''P'''ost '''O'''ffice '''P'''rotocol (version '''3'''). This is one of the major protocols used by end users to retrieve their mail from their mailserver; as opposed to the protocol used to deliver mail to that server from the sender.<br /> <br /> '''POP3''' is an older and very stable protocol known for good performance in less than ideal network conditions, but is not very flexible. Unlike [[IMAP]], it is designed purely for retrieving mail, not for organizing or otherwise maintaining it.<br /> <br /> It is possible (and useful) to troubleshoot POP3 servers using [[telnet]] - see [[Daemons, testing via Telnet]] for a simple example.<br /> <br /> The freebsdwiki.net maintainers use and recommend [[dovecot]] for both [[IMAP]] and [[POP3]] server needs and [http://www.bestdissertation.com/services/dissertation.html thesis writing].<br /> <br /> [[Category:FreeBSD Terminology]]</div>
