RE: POP3
 
Post Office Protocol or POP is the protocol which describes the rules to fetch email messages from a server to local email client like outlook. POP3 is the third version and is standard now. There are two protocols used for sending and receiving emails from email clients- SMTP for sending mails and POP3 (or IMAP) for receiving emails.
