The type of E-Mail accounts that the guides cover here are POP3 accounts, which are also refereed to as Post Office Protocol. POP3 is a remote access protocol that allows you to receive e-mail from any server on the Internet (that you have an account on) from any computer connected to the Internet. The only requirements that you have to meet are that your computer has a POP3-compatible e-mail reader, such as Outlook Express, Netscape, or Eudora, and that the e-mail server is configured to accept POP3 requests.
