OxONet: Notes: POP3 E-Mail Accounts

Notes: POP3 E-Mail Accounts

All popular mail programs such as Microsoft Outlook [Express], Eudora, Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird and Mail (OS X) use a protocol called POP3 (Post Office Protocol, version 3) to retrieve your e-mail. OxONet e-mail accounts comply with this protocol, so all popular mail programs should work to retrieve mail from your OxONet account. OxONet also supports the IMAP protocol for users who prefer this over POP3. Both protocols feature support for secure (SSL) connections to protect your privacy when sending and receiving e-mail.

All our e-mail accounts also feature powerful spam filtering to help ensure you receive less unwanted e-mail, and virus filtering to protect you from malicious viruses, worms, and e-mail "phishing" schemes.

OxONet also provides Web-Based E-Mail Access using SquirrelMail so that you can securely access your e-mail anytime, anywhere.
