When using the UrbanProdigy.net hosting service, you will frequently come across to different types of mail accounts, a pop3 email account and a forwarding (or e-mail alias) mail account.
The POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) mail accounts are accounts which allow you to download messages sent to those specific accounts directly from the server. For example, if a email is sent to test@yourdomain.com this is held on one of our email servers and will provide a store until the user logs on and downloads the mail from the server. A program such as Outlook Express or Eudora is usually required to conduct the download
A forwarding mail account is one which automatically redirects mail sent to it to another location, such mail accounts are usually created for users who want to have multiple mail accounts and yet only have to check one. For example, a user can have mail forwarding accounts sales@yourdomain.com, enquiries@yourdomain.com, complaints@yourdomains.com all forwarded to support@yourdomain.com. The user will only have to check the support@yourdomain.com mail account, any email sent to the other accounts will be automatically redirected to the support mail account.
