The Developer Server POP Service
Post Office Protocol (POP) enables users to read their e-mail without having to logon to a server and learn a cumbersome mail program. Instead, users can access their e-mail using any computer with their chosen POP e-mail client (such as Eudora, Netscape Mail, Outlook Express, Mutt, and Pine). Every major operating system has high quality POP clients.
The virtual POP service enables your company to establish a dedicated system at a low cost, saving your company money on a constant Internet connection. With your virtual POP service, you can establish as many e-mail accounts for your business as you choose. Unlike e-mail aliasing, your mail is stored on your Developer Server. You can easily configure your POP client (e.g. Eudora, Pegasus) to dial in through your local access provider so you can read your mail.
Your company has flexibility, because with the virtual POP service, you can create as many e-mail addresses as you like. Without a virtual POP service, you would have to purchase a commercial gateway (e.g. with a Novell or Microsoft e-mail solution). Or you would have to purchase multiple e-mail POP accounts from your local access provider. Both solutions are costly.
The virtual POP service allows you to establish multiple e-mail addresses at no extra charge. You can access all accounts with a few dial-up accounts from your local access provider. The virtual POP service can save you hundreds — or even thousands — of dollars.
