The In’s and Out’s of POP 3 Email Hosting
Post office protocol or POP3 is the oldest form of internet message access protocol.This form of hosting was designed with the intent of supporting offline or local email processing.
In POP3 hosting, email is delivered to an email server where a remote email client downloads messages from the server and transfers them to the user’s PC.The message is then permanently deleted from the email server.
With mail residing on your PC, there is the advantage of not needing to log into the internet to read and reply to your mails.It is possible for you to store all your replies in a hold folder and even make changes to them later before posting.Any scheduled dates and time you have to allocate for your message for posting it can be done here.
The quick and easy opening of all your emails in POP3 web hosting is possible because all the mails are already on your computer and thus, is another advantage of this form of hosting.There are also no limitations to the size of the emails you send or receive in POP3 web hosting.To top it all, there is no maximum size of your mailbox for you to stick to; all you have to follow is the size of your hard drive.
There are also some disadvantages to POP3 web hosting, in addition to its advantages.One of them is the possibility of you getting targeted by the rogue JavaScript found in emails, especially if you have a JavaScript enabled email reader.
To many, the messages that get stored in the hard drive may end up eating up valuable space that could be used for other purposes.Another disadvantage of POP3 web hosting is that as all attachments are stored on your PC, there is a possibility of virus attacks if attachments are not scanned properly.The last disadvantage is that it is possible for outsiders to read your mail by using applications for opening mail folders.
