pop server = post office protocol (i.e. you mailbox for receiving email)spikes wrote:However, I do have another question on the SMTP. Can I send and recieve mail? or do I set up SMTP and use my outlook to send and receive mail?
smtp server = simple mail transfer protocal (i.e. your personal mailman for delivering email)
Any email client (be that Thunderbird, Outlook, Eudora, Evolution, Pegasus etc.) can send and receive emails if you specify the server settings right.
There are other protocols for mail transfer (e.g. IMAP) but if you want to discuss this further, I suggest you
a) you google for your question first as there are tons of tutorials out there dealing exactly with your question
b) if you still have further questions after a) open a new thread and don't derail this one.
