Mail Features
POP3 service provides a number of convenience features beyond just delivery of mail. The first is accessibility. As its name implies, you can read mail with any POP3-compatible mail-reader. Microsoft Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger and Eudora are popular choices, and there are dozens of others. In addition, POP3 includes a webmail interface, which means that you can read mail directly from a browser, without any mail reader software at all!

In addition, POP3 helps you filter out spam. Using the most current Anti-Spam technologies,  POP3 service keeps you virtually spam-free. When a message arrives for you it has already passed many layers of scrutiny. First, the sender's IP address was checked against industry standard blacklists including SpamCop and MAPS . Next, the message passes through a virus detection engine that is updated every hour. Lastly, the message is looked at by SpamAssassin, which calculates the likelyhood that the message is or is not spam, and flags the spam if it has made it this far. SpamAssassin also checks messages against Vipul's Razor-- a database of known spam kept at the bleeding edge of freshness. The flags SpamAssassin uses allow you to quickly and easily identify spam and filter it in your mail software. No longer will you even need to delete it; you can make that automatic.

You get unlimited email accounts with our POP3 mail service, one of which can be designated as the default mail destination for your domain. This "catch-all" account ensures that mail always gets to someone at your site, even if the name has a typo or is otherwise invalid. For example, a desperate correspondent could simply send mail to "" and the mail would be delivered to one of your real accounts, such as "" With POP3, the mail always gets through, even if it's mistyped!
