How it works (cont'd)

There are two different e-mail protocols that the server can use to handle your messages.

Using the older POP e-mail protocol, all of your messages are transferred at once to whichever computer you're using to read your mail, and they are then removed from the server. If you want to keep them you have to save them locally, which can be messy if you read your e-mail from more than one location.
