Q.What is POP3 email?

A. Good question. POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol. The 3 stands for the current version of the protocol.

POP3 is the most recent version of a standard protocol for receiving e-mail. POP3 is a client/server protocol in which e-mail is received and held for you by your Internet server. Periodically, you (or your client e-mail receiver) check your mail-box on the server and download any mail.

POP3 mail can be retrieved by most popular e-mail products, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Communicator, Eudora amd many more. Back to Top

Q. Why should I pay for email when many offer the service for free?

A. POP3 Mail Central's answer is simple. There are no free lunches. If a mail service is giving away their mailboxes, they are making money some other way. Most likely, they are doing this via advertising!

They advertise within your email, or they resell private information they collect from you as you use their service.

POP3 Mail Central is a private email provider. You pay us a small fee each year which allows us to keep our facilities state-of-the-art, providing you with exceptional service. After that, we mind our own business.

POP3 Mail Central does not allow spammers to use our service, nor will we ever resell your email address or private information to any third party. Back to Top

Q. Do I need an  Internet Service Provider (ISP) to obtain
access to my POP3 Mailbox account?


A. Yes, you do need a computer or internet appliance (Web TV) and internet access. We do not provide dial-up Internet accounts. Back to Top

Q. If I can get an e-mail address through my current ISP for free,
then why should I purchase a POP3 mailbox through POP3mailcentral?


A. Most people who purchase a POP3 Internet mailbox do so for one of the following reasons:

To maintain a permanent email address, even if they change jobs, schools, home address, or Internet Service Providers.

To keep roommates or family members from viewing personal mail.

To list their email address in a more personal manner, as opposed to something really cumbersome for example, harry_knukle_dragger123457@earthlink.com.

To list their email address in a completely anonymous manner, for complete e-mail privacy.

To avoid receiving personal email at their place of business. 

To avoid having their real name turn up in a search that could be run in the future, by potential employers or clients, and could prove to be embarrassing due to purchases or information sent via the Internet.

Also, POP3 addresses do not direct searchers to you. For example, someone at your place of business could not impersonate you, (known on the Net as IMPing) and send out malicious or slanderous email, if you had a POP3 Permanent Mailbox to protect your identity.

To keep your geographic location anonymous. Your local ISP gives others an idea as to where you actually live, for example, if you are using an ISP based in Chicago, it could be assumed that you live in Chicago. POP3 is not an ISP, and therefore does not reveal where you live.

a POP3 Mailbox?


A. Yes! You'll be able to administer a number of changes on your account, such as change and confirm your password, provide finger information, provide a custom message in the event
you are on vacation, forward your mail to another email address, and submit changes on current information.

Q. Will I still get junk email with my POP3 Mail Central account?

A. Junk email is a fact of life. The more you submit your email to various websites, the more likely it is that you will receive junk email.
