RE: POP3
POP stands for Post Office Protocol. This is used to describe how e-mail clients interact with mail servers. The POP3 Server is a type of mail server used for incoming mail. In simple terms POP servers provide a mail-drop service (a temporary mailbox to leave messages so they can be picked up at the recipient's convenience.) When users connect to their ISP POP servers their e-mail software interface with the server and download any messages for them. POP is only used to receive messages it is not used to send them.

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.
